Abstract

Following the change in the political and social spheres of the Qajar era, there was a change in the historiography of this period and historians based on the Azeri religion and Dessatiri texts, instead of writing general history based on Islamic texts to archeology and following the narrative The Iranians paid. The purpose of writing this article is to study the influence of Dasatiri texts on the history of the Ajam and Waqar kings of Shiraz. The study method is library and analytical-descriptive. The result of the research shows that the dignity of Shirazi, like many historians of his time in writing the history of the Ajam sultans, has been influenced by descriptive texts and has used the books of the followers of Azarkivan and especially Chaharchaman civilization. The use of Dasatiri words, mysticism and philosophy and other religious beliefs of this sect is well evident in the history of the Ajam kings. Although Waqar has used Ferdowsi's Shahnameh and Roza al-Safa in writing the history of Ajam sultans, but it seems that he has benefited more from the Chaharchaman civilization
