Khorasan X. History in the Safavid and Afsharid Period
This article, originally published in the print version of the Encyclopaedia Iranica (vol. XVI/fascicle 6), explores the history of the Iranian province of Khorasan from the beginning of the 16th to the middle of the 18th century. Drawing mainly on court chronicles and archival materials from the period, it synthesizes a detailed account of the province's political history under the Safavids (r. 1501-1735). The article closes with an account of events and trends in Khorasan under the Afsharid Nader Shah (r. 1735-1747) and his immediate successors.
