“Remarks on Isfahan” in the words of Thévenot: Marks, remarks, countermarks and demarcations on the subject of Persia
Type de matériel :

La Suite du Voyage de Levant dans laquelle après plusieurs remarques très singulières […] il est traité de la Perse (1674), devoted to Jean de Thévenot’s trip to Isfahan, is the result of a posthumous rewrite by two men, the brother of the traveler, the executor of his will, and by an expert orientalist. A journal consisting of scattered notes is thus restructured into chapters that highlight “remarks,” which are both a way of marking a place and a text, demarcations with respect to the texts of previous travelers, to finally countermark the passage into a colorful world and an approach to traveling that is both textual and editorial, like a sort of structural and symbolic marquetry.
