Asar-e Ajam

Synopsis

Āsār-e Ajam (Persian: آثار عجم, pronounced [ɒːsɒːr-e ædʒæm], lit. "Antiquities of the Persians") is a travelogue and historical book written by Forsat Shirazi between 1881 and 1895 which mostly contains first-hand biographical information about the elite of Fārs, sources on the history of the region as well as its geography. It also involves a collection of more than fifty drawings of various historical sites of Persia, especially Fārs. It is an important book because of accurate renditions with Qajar style—of the reliefs and buildings at Persepolis.
