The Ahsan al-tavarikh (Persian: احسنالتواریخ, romanized: The Most Beautiful of Histories) is a Persian universal history composed by the Safavid historian Hasan Beg Rumlu in 1578.[1][2] Originally encompassing twelve volumes, only two have survived.[3]
The chronicle provides a detailed historical account of a significant portion of the Persianate world. In contrast to other contemporary chronicles, it is notable for its detailed coverage of Safavid Iran's surrounding countries, particularly the Ottoman Empire and Khanate of Bukhara.[4]
