Johan Albrecht de Mandelslo (1616–1644) was a seventeenth-century German adventurer, who wrote about his travels through Iran (Persia) and India. Born at Schönberg in Mecklenburg, Germany. After traveling to Isfahan with a diplomatic mission, he separated from the party and made his way to India, where he made interesting observations on the Mughal Empire, then ruled by Shah Jahan.

Arriving at the port of Surat in April 1638, he moved on to Ahmedabad and Agra. While his observations of life in the capital are useful, he apparently heard nothing about the Taj Mahal, then in its sixth year of construction. The omission may stem fro

  • Johan Albrecht de Mandelslo (1616–1644) was a seventeenth-century German adventurer, who wrote about his travels through Iran (Persia) and India. Born at Schönberg in Mecklenburg, Germany. After traveling to Isfahan with a diplomatic mission, he separated from the party and made his way to India, where he made interesting observations on the Mughal Empire, then ruled by Shah Jahan. In 1638, Mandelslo visited the ruins at Persepolis in Persia; his name and the year can be found inscribed in the Gate of All Nations at the entrance to the site. Arriving at the port of Surat in April 1638, he moved on to Ahmedabad and Agra. While his observations of life in the capital are useful, he apparently heard nothing about the Taj Mahal, then in its sixth year of construction. The omission may stem from his premature departure from the city, prompted by a chance meeting with the relative of a man he had killed in Persia. Fearing reprisals, he retreated to Lahore before continuing his journey through the empire's southern provinces and travelling on to the Far East. Mandelslo is an engaging and cheerful writer, whose enthusiasm for indiscriminately shooting wildlife (including snakes, buffalo and monkeys) did not endear him to his Indian travelling companions.

  • Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo, parfois francisé en Jean Albert de Mandelslo, (1616-1644) est un aventurier allemand connu pour le récit de ses voyages en Perse et en Inde. Né à Schönberg dans le Mecklembourg, il se rend à Ispahan dans le cadre d'une mission diplomatique. Il de sépare ensuite du groupe et rejoint l'Inde, où il fait d'intéressantes observations sur l'Empire moghol, alors dirigé par le Shah Jahan. En 1638, Mandelslo visite les ruines de Persépolis. Arrivé au port de Surate au mois d'avril de la même année, il se rend ensuite à Ahmedabad et à Agra. Si ses observations sur la vie dans la capitale sont utiles, il ne semble pas avoir entendu parler du Taj Mahal, alors dans sa sixième année de construction. Cette omission pourrait être due à son départ prématuré de la ville, provoqué par une rencontre fortuite avec le parent d'un homme qu'il avait tué en Perse. Craignant des représailles, il se retire à Lahore avant de poursuivre son voyage dans les provinces du sud de l'empire et de se rendre en Extrême-Orient. (fr)
