Catalogue Note
Otter was sent to Persia by the French government on a commercial mission. In addition to providing an account of his dealings in Persia, the work also describes his journey from Constantinople across Asia Minor, including Baghdad and Basrah. There is also much information on the Turkish-Persian wars during the reign of Tahmas Kouli-Khan.
