【Summary】
Ashraf al-Tavārīkh is a valuable historical source from the early Qajar period, focusing on events in Khorasan during the governorship of Muḥammad Walī Mīrzā between the years 1218 and 1231 A.H.
The author, who served as a court secretary and tutor to the prince and later acted as his political advisor, provides detailed accounts of administrative affairs, military campaigns, and regional conflicts.
The work is particularly important for its documentation of Qajar efforts to consolidate power in eastern Iran, the struggles with rebellious tribal groups and Turkmen forces, and the final activities of Nādir Mīrzā, the last surviving member of the Afsharid dynasty in Khorasan. As such, it stands as a key primary source for understanding the formative phase of Qajar rule under Fatḥ-ʿAlī Shāh.
