Abstract :

In Qajar Iran, the Nseri era, special attention was paid to the geography of the Provinces of Iran, which led to the writing of the "Naseri collection". One of the books of this geographic collection Joghrāfiāy-e Eyālat-e Kermān Dar Ahd-e Nāseri by Monshi Kermani, a clan with a record in the Kerman bureaucracy, wrote about 1267 AD. The author, based on the documents and Administrative Letters, travels and views and heard, describes the great state of Kerman on the basis of geographic quadrants in eighteen blocks. The book, which is a climatic and local geography, contains numerous descriptions and reports of the physical positioning of cities and urban, rural and nomadic life in Kerman at that time. From the reports, the information and statistics of this book can be used in the study of the socio-economic history of the Kerman Province during the Qajar period and on some of its blind spots.
