Abstract:   (1504 Views)
Literary texts, including divan, are among the sources of historical researches. Although divan’s topic is not directly related to historical issues, and sometimes some historians only make historical interpretations of the poet’s allusions, some of divans have also considered various historical aspects. Divan of Abu al-Reza Ravandi is one of these divans that has many historical references and was written by a Shiite scholar during the domination of the Sunni Seljuks. This research intends to study the historical significance of this work as a neglected historical text from the Seljuk period by analyzing different parts of this divan and discovering and extracting the poet's historical references in various fields. Results of this study indicate the importance of Divan of Abolreza Ravandi in the field of political, cultural and social history of Kashan in the Seljuk period and introduce this divan as the local history of Kashan in this period.
Keywords: Abolreza Ravandi, Local history, Divan of Abolreza Ravandi, Ravand, Seljuk, Shiite Poetry, Kashan.
