Adam Oelschläger [Olearius], 1600-1671, German orientalist and traveller, was sent by the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp as secretary to his embassy to the
Czar of Russia, and to the Shah of Persia, to open up trading relations. His
Beschreibung der muscowitischen und persischen Reise
was first published in Schleswig in 1747, and was translated into French and other languages.
Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo, 1616-1644, German traveller, was page to the Duke, and was authorized to leave the embassy in Persia, and to travel in the
Far East. His return to Europe was made via the Cape of Good Hope.
