Az ṭilism tā tārīkh: Īrān-i ʻaṣr-i Shāh ʻAbbās az manẓar-i ʻulūm-i gharībah : bar asās-i risālah-ʼi muntasab bih Mullā Jalāl Munajjim Yazdī

Unveiling the mystical undercurrents of the Safavid court, Az ṭilism tā tārīkh offers a fascinating historical analysis based on a treatise attributed to the renowned astrologer Mullā Jalāl Munajjim Yazdī. Edited by Behzād Karīmī with a foreword by Sayyid Hāshim Āqājarī, this work bridges the gap between official chronicles and the hidden world of ʻulūm-i gharībah (occult sciences). It explores how talismans (ṭilism) and astrological calculations influenced decision-making, political survival, and daily life during the reign of Shāh ʻAbbās I. By examining the 'Līmiyā' section of the Asrār-i Qāsimī tradition, the book reveals the pragmatic application of magic in high politics, demonstrating how elites navigated power struggles and personal anxieties through reliance on the supernatural.
