Silsilat-an-Nasab-i Safaviya

The Silsilat-an-Nasab-i Safaviya, also spelled Selselat-an-Nasab-e Safaviyye (Persian: سلسلة النسب صفویة, meaning Genealogy of the Safavid dynasty) was written by Sheikh Pir Husayn 'Abd az-Zahidi, a 17th-century descendant of Sheikh Zahed Gilani, during the reign of Shah Suleiman I. This hagiography, in praise of the Safavid forebears, was devoted to the genealogy of Safavid Sufi masters. == Modern scholarly context and ideological function == Modern historians, such as Andrew J. Newman, treat the Silsilat-an-Nasab-i Safaviya not as a purely factual record but as an important, traditional Persian-language source that must be approached with critical analysis.
