Full text
1Intended to revise the supposedly common interpretation of Šāh Ṭahmāsb I as a bigoted, pusillanimous and stingy monarch, this article offers a long narrative that mainly relates facts concerning the many wars Ṭahmāsb fought against the Ottomans. The author relies on a limited amount of source material, mostly Western travelers, some of whom, like Father Krusinski, lived and wrote 150 years after the evens, and secondary sources. Eskandar Monšī’s Tārīḫ-e ‘ālam-ārā-ye ‘Abbāsī is the only primary source used for this study.
