Zusammenfassung:Well-known Swedish travellers started to visit Persia in the 17C; previously the land was little known to Europeans. Bengt Bengtsson Oxenstierna visited the Safavid kingdom 1617-1618, Nils Mattsson Kioping in 1650-1651, Heinrich Brenner in 1697-1700, Jonas Otter in 1773-1739, Carl Peter von Heidenstam in 1815-1817, Conrad Gustaf Ferdinand Fagergren in 1847-1879, and Bertrand Baptist Angarius Hybennet in 1873-1907. Finally Sven Hedin, who is the most famous visitor, visited Persia in 1886, 1890 and 1906, and contributed much archaeological and geographical knowledge from his visits.
