DESCRIPTION:Between the late 16th and the late 18th century\, a small comm
 unity of English merchants resided in the heart of the old city of Aleppo.
  The English Levant Company formed an important cultural link between Engl
 and and the early modern Ottoman Empire. This lecture will survey some of 
 the intellectual interests pursued at the English factory\, over a period 
 of around 140 years. By tracing the ways in which manuscripts and antiquit
 ies were relayed from Aleppo to English libraries and museums\, it will il
 luminate the connections between international trade and various fields of
  early modern scholarship.\n
