Abstract: (2288 Views) |
| It seems very difficult to draw a comprehensive or even a semi-comprehensive model for Persian historiography during a long period of a thousand years. Because this model should be a very sophisticated and well-integrated one capable to include various factors such as: historians’ approaches, their attitudes toward historical events, their sources and documents, their methods in research and source using, their manners of evaluating historical data and finally the historians social background and their rhetoric. Factors may change according to the historians’ methods and attitudes. However, it would be possible to speak about a paradigm in Persian historical writing at conditions that one was able to construct a relatively comprehensive model which includes the common dimensions of these factors. The findings of this research based on a comparative survey of historical sources show that one could speak about a dominant model for Persian historiography. This model is, in turn, composed of eight component factors and we may call it the Persian writing history paradigm. |
