Abstract
Background and Aim: The presence of Westerners with different goals in the Safavid period was more prominent than other dynasties. During this period, some travelogue writers with various purposes wrote travelogues that have been used in most of the researches related to Safavid history. One of the topics covered by travelogue writers is health. In this research, the intention is to analyze the views of these people to determine how reliable these books are for research on health in the Safavid period?
Methods: This research is an analytical-critical study that uses written sources of the Safavid period and foreign sources (European travelogues) to examine the views of travel writers on health.
Ethical Considerations: In the present study, the ethical aspects of library study including originality of texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed.
Results: In this study, it was found that travel writers have different views on health and in some cases, their statements, although at the same time, were in Iran; There were many differences.
Conclusion: The study of Safavid travelogues in the field of health led to the conclusion that some travelogue writers with their political and personal goals and intentions, did not record the correct information in their works. Therefore, in quoting these sources, they should be used with more reflection and accuracy.
