Abstract


This article uses unpublished documents preserved at the Archivo General de Simancas to analyze the origins of the Society of Jesus mission to Persia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, until 1649 when, strictly speaking, the first mission to Persia was undertaken by French rather than Portuguese and Spanish priests since it was necessary to defer matters. The most extreme attitudes of some envoys and the divisions among the religious orders represented a problem with fatal consequences for the mission.
