Katholisch-schiitische Positionierungen im safawidischen Iran

Roman traveler and humanist Pietro Della Valle spent the years 161722 in Safavid Iran. At the court of h Abbs I, he advocated for political alliances against the Ottomans and the establishment of a Catholic center (Nuova Roma di Oriente). He wrote a polemic in Persian responding to contentious interreligious debates, presented here in translation accompanied by a commentary as a source that can be used to analyze Catholic-Shiite positionings.
