The re-creation of the royal virtues of Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk's Siyāsatnāmeh in works of historians of the Safavid Era (1136-907 A.H.). 1 24 8081 10.22111/jhr.2024.45293.3550 FA Hamidreza Aryanfar Scientific staff of IranoAssistant Professor, Department of History, Culture and Civilization of Iran, Iranian Studies Foundation, logy Foundation, Journal Article 2023 08 11 With the establishment of the Safavid government (907 A.H.), the historians of the era, in the new intellectual atmosphere and discourse, took on a task that historians had rarely addressed before. It was the task of applying the virtues of the king's ideal in Siyāsatnāmeh to legitimize the kings of their time. One of the main features of Siyāsatnāmeh or Siral-Muluks, one of the original areas of thought in the political thought of Iran during the Islamic era, especially in the Middle Ages, was political justification and legitimization and approval of the governments and kings of the era. According to the historical-political conditions of their appearance, these works had special characteristics and were written for the purpose of practical guidance of a certain emir or sultan. The present study seeks to find out which of the virtues of Shah Armani (Fazaeil Shahi) of Nizam al-Mulk's Siyāsatnāmeh, from the original sources of the design and transmission of Shah Armani's thought in the Middle Ages, have been used by the historians of the Safavid era to describe the king of their time. And what have been the goals of historians in paying attention to political works? The findings of the research show that the historians of this era, under the influence of Iranian intellectual traditions and historical contexts, in order to legitimize the Safavid sultans from virtues such as being chosen, creating security, creating happiness and good fortune, justice and justice, religiousness and supporting religion, politics and administration of affairs, they have used military knowledge and possessing good external qualities in a non-mandatory and attributive manner. The main goal of this research, which was written with a descriptive-analytical method and using the historical sources of the Safavid era, is to recreate the virtues of Shah Armani (Fazaeil Shahi), one of the most important policies of the Islamic era in the works of historians of the Safavid era.
