The Safavid era (970-1145 A.H./1501-1722 C.E.) constitutes one of the most fascinating periods of Iranian civilization, and Mirza Rafi'a's Persian handbook Dastur al-Muluk (Regulations of the Kings) provides invaluable information on political and religious administration, biography, economics, as well as culture and geography of that time. The work takes the reader to the world of the imperial palace of Iran's splendid capital of Isfahan, describing the responsibilities of the offices and services, from the Grand Vizier down to the kitchen staff. Dr. Marcinkwski's work features for the first time a complete and annotated English translation, along with a detailed commentary, and a fascimile reproduction of the entire Persian manuscript. Readers will also find very useful the quick-reference to the offices, the glossary of technical terms, appendices on measures, weight and currencies, a chronological table of the Safavid rules, a select bibliography, as well as several indices.
This work was originally from author's doctoral dissertation at ISTAC which won the first prize of the prestigious Iranian President's Award for the Best Study on Iranian Culture (International Category) For the Year 1379 (2000).
