Scientific Exploration in the Arab World: Pococke’s Description of the East & Other Travelogues
Scientific Exploration in the Arab World: Pococke’s Description of the East & Other Travelogues
Between the mid-18th and early 19th centuries, European explorers launched expeditions across the Middle East and North Africa, collecting scientific data and offering new perspectives on these regions. Funded by European governments, institutions and individuals, these missions were driven by a mix of scientific curiosity and imperial ambitions—political, cultural and commercial. Many of these journeys were later published in Europe as travelogues, documenting the explorers’ remarkable experiences.
