Persian Manuscripts
<p style='text-align: justify;'>The Gospels attributed to the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, translated into Persian by Flemish Carmelite monk Pierre de la Mère de Dieu (1612–1672), who apparently completed it in Isfahan at the request of his superior between 1650 to 1655. French traveller Jean Chardin (1643-1713), author of <i>Voyages de Monsieur Chardin</i>, probably acquired this volume in Isfahan while residing there between 1673 to 1677, some twenty years after completion of the translation. </p>
