Amadan, City

1694. The great historical, geographical and poetical dictionary by Louis Moreri.

Amadan, one of the fairest and most considerable Cities of Persia, between Monsal and Ispahan, from which it is nine days journey: It is seared at the foot of a Mountain, whence flow an infinite number of Springs that water the Country. The Soyl is fertile, and furnishes the Neighbouring Provinces with Wheat and Rice; which is the Reason that the King of Persia values it at as high a rate as Bagdat, which affords him less profit, and yet costs him more.
