The Ottoman-Safavid conflict was viewed by the countries of Europe
as being beneficial to their interests and there was therefore a
subsequent hunger for up-to-date intelligence of events in that
part of the world. As resident physician to the Venetian legation,
Giovanni-Tommaso Minadoi he made use of his wide contacts within
the community to gather this vital commercial and diplomatic
intelligence. This book provides a detailed and lively account of
the war between the Ottoman and Safavid dynasties in the late
sixteenth century, when Ottoman sultan, Murad III, sought to extend
his sphere of influence at the expense of the Safavids under Shah
Mohammad Khodabandeh. There are very few western accounts of the
conflict and Minadoi's is both highly informative and reliable and
provides a valuable addition to non-western sources. Now rare, this
edition is published with a new introduction from one of the
foremost authorities on the history of Iran, Rudi Matthee.
