Tazkera-ye Taher-e Nasrabadi
The Tazkera-ye Taher-e Nasrabadi (Persian: تذکرهٔ طاهر نصرآبادی) is a 17th-century Persian collection of brief biographies of around 1,000 poets from Safavid Iran. It was composed in 1680 by the poet and literary historian Mirza Mohammad Taher Nasrabadi in dedication to the Safavid shah Suleiman I (r. 1666–1694).[1]
The book divided the Persian literary world into three areas: Iran, Turan, and India. However, the focus was predominantly on Safavid Iran.[2]
