MAJMU ¯\AH ’HA ¯:IMPORTANT AND UNKNOWN SOURCES OF HISTORIOGRAPHY OF IRAN DURING THE LAST SAFAVIDS

Owing to the establishment of the Safavid state, Iranian society witnessed

many changes in the political, social, economic, religious and, in my opinion,

literary and historiographical spheres. These important changes were

significant for the political and religious structure, for the beginning of

Safavid rule marked the beginning of a new era in Iranian society, affecting all

aspects of the life in Iran.
