ISBN: 9780190884796 出版年：2019 页码：241 Mokhberi, Susan Oxford University Press

This exploration of France's preoccupation with Persia in the seventeenth century uses diplomatic sources, fiction and images to describe how the French came to see themselves in Safavid Persia. It revises our notions of orientalism and suggests that early modern Europeans had more nuanced responses to Asia than previously imagined.
