Silsilat-al-nasab-i Safaviya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Silsilat-al-nasab-i Safaviya, also spelled as Selselat-al-nasab-e Safaviya (Persian: سلسلةالنسب صفویه, meaning Genealogy of the Safavids) was written in Persian by Sheikh Pir Husein Abd-al-Zahedi, a 17th century descendant of Sheikh Zahed Gilani. This hagiography, in praise of the Safavid forebearers, was devoted to the genealogy of Safavid Sufi masters. The Safavids were one of the most eminent Iranian dynasties.
