SUMMARY:MHS: The World Becomes Round: Cultural and Commercial Connections between Bombay Parsis and Yankees, 1771-1861
DESCRIPTION:<p>	This talk focuses on the commercial and cultural connections between New Englanders and Parsis in Bombay from the 1770s to the 1850s. Commercially, the Parsis began to act as agent-brokers for Massachusetts merchants in the late 1780s. But Parsi Zoroastrian religious ideas and rituals were already known to at least a few readers in New England by spring of 1772, when the first European translations of Zoroastrian texts were sent, at Benjamin Franklin’s recommendation, to the Redwood Athenaeum’s librarian.</p><p>	Speaker:</p><p>	Jennifer Rose, Claremont Graduate University</p>
