dbo:abstract
  • Ignaz Samuel Pallme (* 1. Februar 1806 in Steinschönau; † 11. Juni 1877 in Hainburg an der Donau) war ein österreichischer Handlungsreisender und Afrikaforscher. Bekannt wurde er durch die Erforschung Kordofans. 1837 unternahm er in der Hoffnung, neue Handelswege nach Zentralafrika erschließen zu können, eine Reise nach Kairo, die ihn schließlich in den Sudan führte. Er blieb zwei Jahre, länger als irgendein anderer Forscher vor ihm, und studierte die lokalen Sitten und Gebräuche der (damals) ägyptischen Provinz Kordofan. Weiters beschäftigte er sich mit der Geschichte der Region und prangerte den von Muhammad Ali Pascha betriebenen Sklavenhandel an. Pallme besuchte auch damals noch unbekannte Orte und vervollständigte so die Landkarte Sudans. Sein Buch Beschreibung von Kordofan und einigen angrenzenden Ländern (Stuttgart 1843) gilt als authentische, zeitgenössische Beschreibung Kordufans. (de)
  • Ignaz Samuel Pallme (Steinschönau 1 February 1806 – Hainburg near Vienna 11 June 1877) was a German Bohemian explorer. He undertook a journey to Kordofan in 1837, on commission, for a mercantile establishment at Cairo, in the hope of discovering new channels of traffic with central Africa. In the pursuit of his object, he sojourned (1837–1839) longer in the country than any European before him; the information he furnished respecting the state of this province of Egypt in particular, and of the Belled Soudan in general, may, therefore, be considered the most authentic in existence at that time. That few travellers have visited these countries before Pallme, and subjected the information they were enabled to collect to print, may be deduced from the facts, that scarcely one-half of the places mentioned in Pallme's book are to be found on the maps of that time. The book Kordofan, written by Ignaz Pallme, is at the Austrian National Library in Vienna. Based on notes collected during Pallme's residence in Kordofan (Kurdufan), the book is embracing a description of that province of Egypt and of some of the bordering countries, with a review of the state of the commerce in those countries, of the habits and customs of the inhabitants, as also an account of the slave-hunts taking place under the government of Mehemet Ali.
