Majmūʻah-i maqālāt-i hamāyish-i millī-i Gīlān dar gustarah-i tārīkh-i Ṣafavīyah

Compiled by ʻAbbās Panāhī, Majmūʻah-i maqālāt-i hamāyish-i millī-i Gīlān dar gustarah-i tārīkh-i Ṣafavīyah presents a comprehensive collection of research papers from a national conference dedicated to the history of Gīlān during the Safavid period. The volume investigates the complex dynamics between the central Safavid government and the local ruling families of northern Īrān, specifically the Kiyā’ī and Isḥāqwand dynasties. Contributors explore diverse themes including the region's pivotal role in the silk economy, the consolidation of political power under monarchs like Shāh ʻAbbās I, and the socio-cultural shifts accompanying the Safavid rise to power. This work offers valuable insights into provincial history and the economic geography of Īrān from the 16th to the early 18th century.
