1The volume comprises 20 of the original 42 papers first presented at the Third International Round Table on Safavid Persia in Edinburgh in 1998, published here in revised and expanded versions thanks to the editorial efforts of Andrew Newman. The volume emphasizes particularly Safavid art and craftsmanship but also addresses other features such as historiography, numismatics, popular culture, and religious institutions.
