Abstract:
The author traces the life and work of a great dignitary of the Kingdom of Sahé named Assou. Thanks to the stories left by some European travelers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, he describes a handsome tall man, with a positive spirit. Generous and loyal, he is very attentive to the care of his family. On behalf of the royal power, he deals with external relations and is in intimacy of the monarch. A very influential minister, he is entitled to public honors and is adulated by French merchants. On the death of King Ayisan on October 8, 1708, it was he who forced the enthronement

Alberti, and others), and, finally, a desire to establish contact with the Soviet Writers’ Union, the Venezuelan writer Miguel Otero Silva (1908—1985) remained unknown in this country for a long time.

The path motif is one of the major dominants in the works of prominent 20thcentury poetsof Finland, both Finnish and Swedishnative speakers. Understanding life as a road is what Eino Leino shares in common with Uuno Kailas, Paavo Haavikko, Risto Ahti, Heli Laaksonen, Edith Södergran, and Ralf Nordgren. Their position coincides with the creative concepts of Alexander Blok and the ideas of pilgrimage in European literature and in Kalevalian poetry. 20th-century Finnish poetry falls into all- European line. But in Finnish poetry, the path motif has existed since the epic songs: Lemminkäinen’s esc

Abstract:
Study of itineraries, i.e. a critical analysis of places and dates of stay, travel routes, and movement conditions of various persons, has long been a noticeable trend in world medieval studies, but is still underdeveloped in Russian medieval studies. At the same time, this approach not only supplements knowledge about the biography of a particular person, but also provides an opportunity for an in-depth study of related problems: the mobility of travelers, transport forms, logistics capabilities, etc. at different stages of country development.

The value of press reports as a source of the facts is proved by a number of thematic studies.

The texts of Parthenius have long been familiar to researchers. It is generally accepted that Parthenius was a Russian or a native of Ukraine, a traveler in the Orthodox East.

The article is devoted to the biography of the Polish traveller and diplomat Marcin Broniowski (d. 1592), author of Tartariae descriptio (1578), a classic description of early modern Crimea. While working on the article, I discovered a number of previously unknown Polish sources relating to the diplomat’s biography. This allowed me to reconstruct Marcin Broniowski’s biography and the chronology of his visits to Crimea. I also analyse the main early modern editions and translations of Tartariae descriptio, as well as its influence on the history of European geographical thought.

In 1882, Nocentini published Il primo sinologo: P. Matteo Ricci. The first secular biography of the famous Italian Jesuit to China, it posed important questions about the origins of sinology and the role of Matteo Ricci as an early modern Italian traveller in Sino-western relations. Nocentini’s rereading of Matteo Ricci and travel literature in Italy in the late nineteenth century is examined through theories proposed by Derrida, Barthes and Nabokov. These theories provide an interpretative approach to understand the rereading carried out in Nocentini’s work, as they are intended as a process

On 13 April 1635, Druze emir Fakhr al-Dīn Maʿn was executed in Constantinople, after years of ambiguous relations with the Ottoman sultan. Exactly three centuries later, a biography of the emir was published in Rome, edited by Maronite father Paolo Carali and financed by the Fascist government. The reason why Fascism was interested in his figure can be traced back to the policy implemented by Italy in the 1930s, which sought to penetrate the territories of Lebanon and Syria. However, these were regions in which Fascist Italy had no real interest or claim, and so it sought to build a tie betwee

Abstract Everybody notices when a great man dies; it is more difficult to notice when one is born, or when one is growing up. It is not surprising that ancient biographers often faced a dearth of reliable material on their subject’s childhood and youth; and, for writers of a certain sort of biography, the temptation to fill this gap with the telling, fictional anecdote was difficult to resist. This is clear in biographies of literary figures: Similar tales were told about Plato, Homer, Hesiod, Lucan, Ambrose, and others.

His Sufi affiliations are also considered as part of his reformist orientation.
