        1 - The role of Qazvin geography between Iran and the subcontinent (Literary texts - Persian history)
        Nasrallah Pourmohammadi Amlishi Maryam Ghafouriyan

        Qazvin has been a city of dignitaries throughout post-Islamic history. Until the time of the Timurid and Ilkhans, this city and its subordinate areas were a refuge for political fugitives and religious defendants. The geographical location of the city caused it to be noticed by Shah Ismail (Ismail I) and Shah Tahmasb (Tahmasb I) from the beginning of the Safavid rule. Shah Tahmasb chose it as his capital for various reasons. Given that the cultural-economic dimension of any city is subject to its political centrality, so the concentration of government and political power in Qazvin was very influential on the conditions of this city. After the transfer of the capital to Isfahan, the economic capability of the city declined. But it still retained its political and cultural role. However, due to the presence of religious scholars, poets, writers and officials of Qazvin, it played a key role in cultural-political and economic relations with foreign countries, especially the subcontinent, and also attracted dignitaries from other cities. At the same time, factors such as the formalization of Shiism religion, religious pressure (prejudice) and political power of this region, have been the most important reasons and the basis of cultural-political relations between Iran and foreign governments, especially the subcontinent in this era. Also, due to the spirit of religious tolerance of the Indian court towards the immigrants, each of them became an intellectual and cultural circle between Iran and the Land of India. On the other hand, the close relations and interactions between the lands of Iran and India throughout history are another proof of this claim; especially since the Persian language and literature during the time of the Timurid and Mongol of Iran and India had such a movement and authority that all reports and correspondence of the Indian government had to be written in Persian alongside the native language of India and Indian poets of the Timurid era in India were often bilingual. This encouraged the natives of the subcontinent to learn Persian, and according to historical evidence, Persian words in most of these places became synonymous with the native Indian words.

        3 - Actions and Behavior of Mythical Kings; a Didactic Model in Shahnameh and Historical Texts
        Mohammadreza Haji aqa babaei

        Paying attention to the actions and moral characteristics of mythical kings is one of the important issues raised in Shahnameh and historical texts. The authors of these texts have tried to introduce the kings as superior models of behavior so that they could reduce the severity of the behavior of the rulers of their time and teach them in an indirect way; otherwise by expressing the similarity between their behavior and mythological kings, they create a high position for the rulers of their time and benefit even much better. By examining historical texts, we see that historians have considered the past as a favorable era and away from any ugliness and impropriety. Therefore, they sought to provide an exemplary and imitable model of the morals and behavior of mythical kings; a model that if other rulers follow it, an ideal society will be formed. In this research, the mythological part of the Shahnameh and some historical texts that deal with the lives of mythological kings are investigated with a descriptive-analytical method. Most of the things that have been expressed in these works about the mythical kings and their behavior are related to their kind treatment with their subordinates and special emphasis on spreading justice and preventing oppression of the people. Paying attention to the religiosity of the kings and their role in guiding the people towards an ideal society is also very important in these texts. In fact, a society in which there is no oppression and people live in peace and comfort. Manuscript profile
