Abstract

Four years ago the rasher of the two of us, A.J. Andrea, a historian who specializes in long-distance travel and cultural encounters before 1492, suggested to William Mierse, an art historian and archeologist specializing in the late Hellenistic World, that sometime in the future we should jointly teach a course on the Silk Road. At the time Andrea was preparing the third edition of Volume I of The Human Record ( 1998)-now into a fourth edition-a global history source book that emphasizes travel and cultural exchange as two of its main themes, and the idea seemed exciting. Given our respective schedules, we concluded that the spring semester of 2000 would be the first mutually convenient term in which we could offer the course, and we would do so as a seminar for first-year students. It all sounded so nice and easy-until we began to plan our syllabus.
