Orientalism in Louis  XIV's France  presents a history of Oriental studies in seventeenth-century France, mapping the place within the intellectual culture of the period that was given to studies of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Chinese texts, as well as writings on Mughal India. The Orientalist writers\n\u003cbr\u003estudied here produced books that would become  sources used throughout the eighteenth century. Nicholas Dew places these scholars in their own context as members of the \"republic of letters\" in the age of the\n\u003cbr\u003escientific revolution and the early Enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059330568430,"sku":"9780199234844","price":282.85,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199234844.jpg?v=1736496452","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/orientalism-in-louis-xivs-france","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
