Abstract

About the great figures of history, such as kings, ministers and men of politics, writers, jurisprudents and scholars ... From the ancient times to the present day, special works have been written and sometimes in the text of some historical books this issue has been investigated. The same category of works should be mentioned in the books that have been introduced to the ministers. These works should be classified in a Persian prose poet as a book of the life of ministers. The purpose of this particular type is to find works that, like the books of general history from pre-Islamic to the epoch of the author, are examined in terms of the knowledge of the ministers or they have focused specifically on one of the historical periods. The background to these works dates back to Islam. In Arabic literature, such a Al-Zura Val Kottab, Al-Jahshyari, and Fakhri's history of Ibn al-Taqtaqi represent this literary form. In Persian literature, the book of life of ministers has been popular since the sixth century and has continued for centuries. Some of these works include: The Tarikhol Vozara najmaddin Qomi, Naseem al-Ashar Nasir al-Din Monshi Kermani, the Asarol Vozara Aghili and others. The book of ministers' life is of historical, social, political and literary importance. Some of the works of this type of literary are corrected and printed, and some are still manuscripts and lithographs. In this article, the author attempted to mention the Persian works of this literary genre to study and characterize the features of this group of works from a structural point of view.
