【Summary】
Ghazavāt-i Sulṭān Salīm is a historical work written in Persian during the reign of Sultan Selim I by an Iranian author with Shiʿi inclinations. It is a notable example of Persian historiography produced within the Ottoman realm. The book focuses on Selim I’s campaigns in Syria and Egypt; because the author accompanied the Ottoman army, it offers firsthand observations and detailed reporting that give it exceptional value among accounts of these events. Its strong prose—rich in rhetorical ornament, Qurʾanic citations, traditions, and Persian and Arabic poetry—along with references to political and cultural figures in the army, are among its distinguishing features.
