Abstract

This study envisages to collect the signs of "civility" (as Norbert Elias called it) in 16th century Persia. Based on the reports of the Portuguese missions to the land of Sheik Ismael, several customs and rituals - different and new in the Portuguese eyes - were observed. The Portuguese Expansion fostered the contact with new societies and cultures, hereby opening up the European civilisational process to new horizons. This study aims ultimately at providing - through its sources - a reflection of Portuguese views on the East.
