Safarnāmah-i Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh bih Karbalā va Najaf

Safarnāmah-i Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh bih Karbalā va Najaf offers a compelling historical account of the Qājār monarch's pilgrimage to the sacred shrines of Iraq. Authored by Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh himself and edited by Farshād Abrīshamī, this work serves as a primary source for understanding the cultural and political dynamics of 19th-century Īrān and its relationship with the Ottoman-controlled territories of Mesopotamia. The narrative details the royal entourage's route, interactions with local populations, and the Shah's personal observations on the shrines in Karbalā and Najaf. Presented by Khānah-i Tārīkh va Taṣvīr-i Abrīshamī in Tihrān, this edition includes annotations that elucidate the historical context, making it an essential resource for scholars of Persian history and Shi'a studies.
