Local historiography is a style of historiography to which historians pay special attention. Local historiography has local aspects and examines the past, far and near, of the geographical area with a more detailed and detailed look. In Mazandaran, various local histories have been written, including the history of Tabarestan Ibn Esfandiar, the history of the embryos of the saints Amoli, the history of Tabarestan and Royan and Mazandaran Seyyed Zahir al-Din Marashi. Omiyaullah Amoli wrote the history of embryos in the second half of the eighth century AH and at the same time as the Ilkhanid era. In this book, he has studied the history of Royan and Mazandaran from the time of the Sassanids to his own time.

In explaining historical events, he seems to have been influenced by the dual affiliation of place and religion (Shia of the Twelve Imams). The research method in this article is historical and its writing method is descriptive-analytical. Information extraction is also done in the form of a library. This article tries to explain the historiography of the saints with a local-religious approach.
