Don Juan of Persia

Productinformatie

During the years 1602 and 1603, in Spain, and after he had become an ardent Roman Catholic, Don Juan of Persian, as he was now proud to be called, compiled his Relaciones. The work is divided into three parts: the First Book describing his native country and its government, followed by an epitome of ancient and medieval Persian history; the Second Book treating of the late wars between the Persians and the Turks, and the Third Book dealing with his journey from Isfahan into the countries of the West. This volume is the translation of this work.
