[en] In the early the 18th century, the Arctic came to the attention of European scholars, notably thanks to whaling accounts and English and Danish voyages of discovery. The Moravian Brethren, who sent missionaries and envoys to Greenland, Lapland, and Iceland, participated in the dissemination of information about people and nature in the Far North. This article is dedicated to Moravian communication from these travels and the reception of knowledge about the European Arctic among German, French and Polish scholars. This article evidences that the Moravians pursued a communication strategy focused on missionary success. At the same time, it demonstrates that the reception of knowledge – conveyed by a strongly hostile religious community – crossed spatial and denominational boundaries.
