Abstract
The article examines a hitherto unstudied
document containing the earliest decree of Nādir
Shāh (1736–47) and the petition of Muḥammad Ṣafī
Ṣafavī, mutavallī of the pious endowments of
Ardabil. The first part of the paper provides the
transliteration and translation of this document,
and the second part offers a short historical
outline of the respective period and commentaries
on the content and diplomatics. Through the lens
of the document, the article aims to address the
set of circumstances and prevalent issues in the
administration of the vaqf during these
historically turbulent years. Furthermore, from
the viewpoint of diplomatics, unique insight can
be gained into the distinctive features of Nādir’s
early documents.
