Rūznāmah-i khāṭirāt-i Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh: dar safar-i sivvum-i Farangistān

This primary source edition presents the complete journals of Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh Qājār from his third and final grand tour of Europe in 1889. Meticulously edited by Muḥammad Ismāʻīl Riz̤vānī and Fāṭimah Qāz̤īhā, the text serves as a vital historical record of Qajar-era diplomacy and the Iranian encounter with modernity. The Shah's daily entries document his itinerary from Tihrān through Russia to the capitals of Europe, offering candid observations on Western technology, governance, and culture, alongside details of the royal entourage. This scholarly edition, published by the Sāzmān-i Asnād-i Millī-i Īrān, is enriched with extensive appendices, including inventories of items acquired during the voyage and biographical notes on the prominent Iranian figures who accompanied the monarch.
