【Summary】

Ghughā-yi Tabrīz is the critically edited text of a manuscript consisting of personal notes written by an ordinary citizen of Tabriz, documenting the events of the Iranian Constitutional Movement from the assassination of Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh up to the outbreak of World War I.

The anonymous author was a shopkeeper residing in the Chahār-Manār quarter of Tabriz. While generally sympathetic to the constitutionalists, he does not hesitate to criticize both their actions and those of Muḥammad-ʿAlī Shāh when he deems it necessary. Holding no official position in either the constitutionalist or absolutist camps, the author records political developments as they were perceived and discussed among the general population.

The value of this work lies in its unique social perspective: it provides rare insights into public opinion, everyday economic survival, neighborhood relations, the circulation of political news among ordinary people, and the concrete impact of revolutionary conflict on daily urban life. As such, it constitutes an indispensable source for social and cultural history of the Constitutional era in Iran.
