Wassāf, Sharaf al-Din `Abd Allāh Shīrāzī
[Origin] 1264. Shiraz
[Died] 1334
Iranian historian. After completing his studies in his hometown, he served the Ilkhanate as a tax collector. Later, he was protected by the vizier Rashid al-Din, and in 1312 he was given the title Wassāf al-Ḥaḍrat (Praise-giver of the Court) by Urjaitu. His work Tajziyat al-Amsār wa Tazjiyat al-A`sār (The Division of the Land and the Changes of the Times), commonly known as Ta'rīkh-i Wassāf (History of Wassāf), is a historical work that covers the history of the Ilkhanate from 1258 to 1323. Its gorgeous style, which incorporates a wealth of Arabic, had a great influence on later historians, and it is also an extremely valuable historical source.
