Resum
The MS. APF SOCG 104 ff. 2-5, which relates the persecution of Teresa Sampsonia Sherley after her husband Robert’s death (September 13, 1628), mistakes the return to Persia of herhusband’s first embassy to Europe’s princes (June 1615) for that of her husband’s second embassy to Spain (May 1628). It conveys a picture of Teresa in which she is closer to a Christian martyr than to a fierce amazon, and exculpates of her persecution ‘Abba–s I, the khan of Shiraz and the daroga ofIspahan. Bordering hagiography it avoids the typical overstatement of the genre.
