	Richard E. Wright Research Reports: Ardebil Shrine
		The nature of the Shrine is knowable, for there was considerable traffic of Europeans going, after the turn of the 17th century, to Ispahan, with its large complement of foreign missionaries, merchants, and embassies.
		And, to the extent the Ardebil which Olearius saw resembled the Ardebil in the first Safavid flowering under Ismael, it should be on the list of point of origin possibilities (best headed by Tabriz) for the carpet now in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
		In any event, it is the Shrine described by Olearius rather than that of the 19th century travellers which conveys the carpet's rightful setting.

		This work examines the travel account of a German baroque author who journeyed in search of silk from Northern Germany, through Muscovy, to the court of Shah Safi in Isfahan.
		Adam Olearius introduced Persian literature, history, and arts to the German-speaking public; his frank appraisal of Persian customs foreshadows the enlightened spirit of the eighteenth century (influencing Montesquieu's Persian Letters as well as Goethe's West-Eastern Divan) and prepares the way for German Romanticism's infatuation with Persian poetry.
		Brancaforte focuses on the visual and discursive nexus uniting Olearius's text with the numerous engravings that supplement the book.

		Among the numerous testimonies to this visibility in travel and memoir literature are the books by Sigismund von Herberstein and Adam Olearius and an amusing poem by the Englishman George Turberville, "To Dancie." Turberville visited Moscow with a diplomatic mission in 1568, the time of one of Ivan the Terrible's worst political purges.
		The poet was struck not by the carnage, however, but by the open homosexuality of the Russian peasants.

		“I… wouldn’t be so sure of that, Anne.” Olearius stopped at a corner, gently disengaged her hand from his elbow, and turned to face her squarely.
