Abstract

The Qajar period is of special importance in the investigation of the history and evolution of calligraphy in Iran for several reasons. In terms of the development of themes, the social and political base of the writers and its functions, the book of reading in this period has characteristics that distinguish it from other periods of Iranian history. The approach of Qajar kings and princes to chronology is worthy of attention from various aspects, especially from the perspective of ritual literature, historical studies, and religious anthropology. Due to the importance of this topic, the following article tries to analyze the content and method of naming Qajar kings and princes, and examines the place of these works in ritual literature.

This research has been carried out in the framework of interdisciplinary studies of history and ritual literature under the descriptive-analytical qualitative strategy of Baroosh. The results of this research show the influence of kingly affairs in the use of concepts and metaphors and the superiority of devotion over the motive of seeking legitimacy, especially in Naseruddin Shah's poems.
