Bernard Randolph (baptised 1643 – c. 1690) was an English merchant and author on the Morea and Aegean islands. [1]
Randolph was born in Canterbury, the son of Edmund Randolph M.D. and his wife Deborah Master; Edward Randolph was his elder brother. In 1664 he was a merchant at Smyrna in the Levant trade. [1]
Randolph then visited the Morea and Mystras in 1669, shortly after a peace was concluded between the Venetian Republic and Ottoman Empire. [2] He was resident in what is now Greece 1671–9. [3] In 1680 he was in Crete. [4]
In the period 1683–4 Randolph made voyages to New England, in support of his brother Edward's work there as a customs official. He then returned to England. He is thought to have died by about 1689. [1]
