About This Book

A group of six Italian travel narratives recounts journeys to Tana and Persia during the era of Shah Ismail, offering firsthand descriptions of political consolidation, the revival of Persian identity, and the widening estrangement between Persia and neighboring Muslim states. The observers detail court ceremonies, commercial routes, geography, local customs, and the dangers and logistics of overland travel, sometimes cross-referencing one another. Translations and editorial notes present the texts in their original orthography and with emendations and commentary for modern readers.
