Persian chroniclers of the Sultanate period

During the Sultanate period, Persian chroniclers played a pivotal role in documenting the historical events and developments in Persia (modern-day Iran). Renowned chroniclers like Isami, Ziauddin Barani, and Shams-i Siraj Afif were instrumental in providing comprehensive accounts of the political, cultural, and social aspects of the era. Through their writings, such as Isami’s “Futuh-us-Salatin” and Barani’s “Tarikh-i-Firoz Shahi,” these chroniclers shed light on the reigns of different sultans, significant battles, court intrigues, and the overall socio-political landscape of the Sultanate period. Their valuable works continue to serve as essential sources for understanding this historical epoch and its complexities.
