Encyclopaedia Iranica, IX, 612-613: „This works contains a great deal of geographical, ethnographical, and historical information. Figueroa carefully described places he visited such as Lar, Shiraz, Kašan, Qazvin, and Qom, some minor sites, and the caravansaries at which he stayed. He also gave interesting ethnographical data on the non-Muslim communities, such as the Armenians in Jolfa. In particular, he reported on the Zoroastrians, notably on their language and religion with particular reference to their funeral practices. Most important are the reports he provides concerning Shah Abbas and his court. He visited Isfahan during the period the Masjed-e Šah was under construction. Figueroa also gave a very precise description of Persepolis (which he called Chilminara, i.e. Cehel Menara) and made a copy of its cuneiform inscriptions which has unfortunately been lost.“
