This chapter explores the interactions of scholars, merchants, missionaries, diplomats and travelers of private means from Catholic and Protestant countries in Europe with men of different faiths in the Ottoman and Safavid Empires between the 16th and the 18th centuries. It documents the rich and variegated nature of this exchange and argues that the transmission of knowledge did not follow a linear and unidirectional path. It also shows that encounters occurred not only in the centers of politics and knowledge but also in the provinces, in port towns and in stations of caravan travel.
