Le voyage en Perse d’Ambrogio Contarini (1474-1477)
Publication type: Book
Author:Vuillemin (Pascal)
Abstract: This work, which offers the first French translation of Voyage en Perse by Ambrogio Contarini, also provides a historical re-reading that allows us to assess its spiritual and prophetic dimensions. A divine and a diplomatic mission in equal measures, the ambassador’s journeying reflects the doubts and disquiet of a time beset by apocalyptic oracles and military conflict.
