【Summary】
Tārīkh-i Bayhaq is the most renowned work of Abū al-Ḥasan Bayhaqī and one of the most significant examples of Iranian local historiography. Written in the sixth century A.H., it provides invaluable information on the historical geography of Bayhaq, as well as political, social, religious, cultural, and literary conditions in Khurasan—particularly Nishapur. What gives the work exceptional value is the author’s reliance on personal observations and oral reports, many of which are unique and unattested in other historical sources.
