The Value and Importance of Vezārat-nāmeh Texts in Historical Research (6th to 10th Centuries AH)
Kimia Maddah , Amirhossein Hatami *
Abstract:   (49 Views)
Tārīkh al-Wuzarāʾ is among the most important texts related to the bureaucratic system in Iran and the Islamic world, consisting mainly of accounts of the lives, eras, and works of prominent viziers. These works are generally written under titles such as Tārīkh al-Wuzarāʾ, Āthār al-Wuzarāʾ, Dastūr al-Wuzarāʾ, and similar names. In comparison with siyāsat-nāmeh literature, these texts may be called Vezārat-nāmeh (Books of Vizierate). Vezārat-nāmeh texts are of great significance for the study of the Iranian administrative and vizierial system during the Islamic period. Although the content of these works is predominantly prosopographical and biographical, and they primarily serve as major sources on the lives of statesmen and prominent viziers, by their very nature they also hold considerable value and importance for historical research and historiography. Therefore, this article, drawing on five major Vezārat-nāmeh texts, seeks to answer the central question: What value and importance do Vezārat-nāmeh texts possess in historical research and historiography? The findings indicate that Vezārat-nāmeh texts contain valuable and firsthand data on socio-economic, scientific, and cultural history, political history, and the structure and organization of the bureaucratic system in Iran.
Keywords: Iran, Vezārat-nāmeh, Tārīkh al-Wuzarāʾ, historical research, bureaucracy.
