Notes
The Gospels attributed to the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, translated into Persian by Flemish Carmelite monk Pierre de la Mère de Dieu (1612–1672) , who apparently completed it in Isfahan at the request of his superior between 1650 to 1655 . French traveller Jean Chardin (1643-1713) , author of Voyages de Monsieur Chardin , probably acquired this volume in Isfahan while residing there between 1673 to 1677 , some twenty years after completion of the translation.
