Full text

1This short article, drawing attention to the importance of the accounts-books of Iran’s Julfa merchants and the fact that only two have thus far been published, considers the transactions of the Bandurean family in their transit trade with Holland via Russia in the early years of the 18th century. The author discusses the make-up of goods transported, mostly raw silk at a total of 132 bale between 1712-17, 123 of which were sold in Amsterdam, and the return good, mostly consisting of cloth, woolens, and a great variety of consumer goods ranging from clocks and mirrors to stockings, cosmetics and doorlocks.
