Abu Said Gardezi

Abu Said Gardezi

Abu Saīd Abdul Hay Dhahhak Gardēzī (died c. 1061) was a Persian geographerGARDĪZĪ,ABŪ SAʿĪD ʿABD-al-ḤAYY b. Żaḥḥāk b. Maḥmūd in Encyclopedia Iranica by C. EDMUND BOSWORTH] and historian of the early 11th century from Gardēz (now in Afghanistan) who wrote the book "Zayn ul-Akhbār". Gardēzī's work is very important for the Islamic history of eastern Persia.

Work

Gardīzī took a dispassionate view of history which is fairly remarkable for it's time . For example he does not either praise the Ghaznavids nor the coming of the Saljuqs. His style of Persian is simple but mature and provides one of the classical examples of Persian prose-writing.
