The Āthār Wa Aḥyāʾ, of Rashīd Al-Dīn Faḍl Allāh Hamadānī and His Contribution as an Agronomist, Arboriculturist and Horticulturalist
Awqāf in Persia
In this essay I have examined information on Awqāf in the 6th-8th/12th-14th centuries contained in various historical texts, including the local histories of Yazd, Fārs and Kirmān, especially the anonymous Tārīkh-i shāhī-i Qara Khitaʾiyan, the waqfiyya of Rashīd al-Dīn Fadl Allāh (dated 709/1309-10), the Jāmiʿ al-khayrāt of Sayyid Rukn al-Dīn Yazdī and his son Sayyid Shams al-Dīn (dated 748/1347-8) and a number of collections containing documents…

Pīshkash
The giving of gifts, though not peculiar to Persian society, is particularly common in that society. There are a large number of words designating gift or present. Among them are ḥadiya, ՙatiya, ṣilat, tuḥfa, ՙinayat, inՙām and pīshkash. Some implicitly define the status of the giver or the recipient. ՙInāyat implies a favour conferred by the giver; inՙām defines the superior status of the giver in relation to the recipient and often amounts to a…
The Qanāts of Yazd
The city of Yazd is situated on the edge of the Dasht-i Kavīr in the Ardistān-Yazd basin, which stretches some 250 miles from near Kāshān to south of Bāfq. It lies at a height of 4,000 ft. West of Yazd, the Shīr Kūh massif rises to 13,370 ft. It receives considerable moisture including heavy snow but the rainfall of Yazd itself is less than 5 in. per annum. Near Yazd groundwater which originates in the Shīr Kūh mountains follows a northward slope…

Qum
The history of Qum exhibits a number of features common to urban and rural life in central Persia over the centuries. It also contains features which differentiate it from other towns. Today it is known as a shrine town, but this has not always been its exclusive character. It has had a complex and varied history. In medieval times it was not distinguished from the countryside around it by the existence of a civic identity, any more than were oth…

Mongol Fiscal Administration in Persia
What distinguishes the establishment of Mongol rule in Persia from earlier conquests and dynastic changes during the previous six centuries is the nature of the demographic changes which resulted from it, the growth in the numbers of the nomadic sector of the population and the changes in the relationship between it and the sedentary sector. The effects of the invasion were not felt uniformly in all provinces. Some districts--Anatolia, much of ea…

Some New Trends in Islamic Political Thought in Late 18th and Early 19th Century Persia
Landlord and peasant in Persia
Justice in the Medieval Persian Theory of Kingship
The unquestioning acceptance by the Muslim community and Muslim thinkers of certain underlying metaphysical assumptions militated against, if it did not prevent, the evolution of a systematic and practical political doctrine; and profoundly affected their writing in many spheres. The historian tended to view history as important so far as it proved Islam and acted as a warning to those who rejected or failed to fulfil its demands; the biographer …

A Reconsideration of the Position of the Marja' Al-Taqlid and the Religious Institution
Shi'ism, unlike Sunnism, was not faced from the beginning with the problem of justifying the state as it developed historically. The great Shi'i doctors, Kulini (d. A. D. 939), al-Sadiq al-Qummi (d. A. D. 991), and al-Tius (d. A. D. 1067), who had formulated the doctrines of the Shi'a, lived under the Buyids. The latter, although Shi'i themselves, nevertheless kept in existence the 'Abbasid caliph. Writing during the occultation of the Hidden Ima…
The Tobacco Regie
In 1872 Nasir ud-Din Shah had granted to a British subject, Baron Julius de Reuter, a concession with wide implications. For some time it had been clear to Nasir ud-Din and his prime minister, Mirza HIusayn Mushir ud-Dawleh, that the fundamental threat to Persian independence came from Russia and that Persia could not resist the Russian advance unaided, especially in view of the precarious condition of Persian finances. Accordingly they sought to…
Studying Islamic History
A Nineteenth Century View of Jihad
In the Qur'an jihad is only one of several duties which are incumbent upon the Muslim. The Arab conquests, however, gave a psychological twist to Islamic thought, as a result of which the duty of jihad was exalted in the Traditions. The Sunni theory of jihad developed against the need to reconcile religious theory and historical precedent. The Shi'a were not faced with this problem and were able to reject historical precedent and to exaggerate th…

The Administration of Sanjar's Empire as Illustrated in the 'Atabat Al-Kataba
The study of Muslim institutions in Persia is made difficult by a lack of documents, nor is this lack due wholly to the destruction of those that once existed. Many of the legal contracts and procedures, especially those relating to customary as opposed to shar'ī law, were unwritten. Moreover so far as local matters were concerned the process of recording was a laborious one in Persia as elsewhere; and it must have seemed unnecessary to record wh…

The Regulation of the Waters of the Zāyande Rūd
The Zāyande Rūd, from Lenjān to the Gāv Khūnī, was regulated by an elaborate system, which is said to go back to Safavid times. This system remained in force until A.H. 1315 (shamsī, A.D. 1936), when it underwent alteration, owing to the fact that, on government orders, the cultivation of cotton was substituted in the lands watered by the Zāyande Rūd for the cultivation of rice.The details of this regulation are found in an interesting document, …
