Abstract: (1669 Views) |
| The narration of Safavid historians of the first confrontation between Shah and Ghezelbash during the reign of Shah Tahmasb is a relatively realistic and, of course, not very clear account of the early decline of a sacred structure in a non-sacred formulation. Therefore, the further we go from the early times of Safavid movement, the more historians' narrative of this sacred phenomenon tends to realism. Accordingly, the narration of historians from the first encounter between Shah and Ghezelbash can be considered from two methodological and content perspectives. Methodologically, although the narrative of these historians is relatively descriptive, it is less focused on holiness. In terms of the content of this re-reading, the emphasis is on the decline of Ghezelbash's disciples under the increasing demands of the economy and their growing political longing, emphasizing their role in challenging the theology of the monarchy and ultimately building it. The heroic image of the king becomes the ultimate winner of such controversy. This research seeks to explore, in a descriptive-analytical way, the elements that shaped the narrative of historians from the first confrontation between Shah and Ghezelbash at the beginning of Shah Tahmasb's era. |
