1Il existe jusqu’à présent très peu de publications concernant Mašhad et l’administration gérant le mausolée de l’Emam Reḍā (m. 818), Āstān-e Qods-e Raḍavī.
2Cet article très clair est une introduction aux nombreux documents d’époque safavide conservés dans la bibliothèque du mausolée de l’Emām Reḍā à Mašhad. Les AA. soulignent l’importance de ces documents encore méconnus des chercheurs mais précieux pour établir une histoire de l’administration du mausolée et plus largement pour l’histoire administrative, économique et sociale de l’Iran à la période safavide. Le lecteur trouvera de nombreux fac-similés de documents dans l’article. [Compte rendu de Denis Herman]
3This article was jointly written by a research associate (E. Maḥbūb) and the director of documentation (A. F. Ḥasanābādī) at the Bonyād-e Pažūheš-hā-ye Eslāmī-ye Āstān-e Qods-e Raḍavī in Mašhad. This center’s library (located next to the main shrine in Mašhad and operating under the Directorate of Documents and Publications) has a large number of original documents from the Safavid period about the maintenance of the shrine. Some documents date from the 16th century; but the majority of waqf materials, from the 17th and early 18th centuries: more than 400,000 documents plus a variety of private collections donated by the Martyr’s Foundation, including the Āṣef al-Salṭane collection (documents from Qājār Āḏarbāyjān, Zanjān, Qazvīn) and the Seyyed Jalāl al-Dīn Tehrānī collection (dealing with the shrine under his stewardship as motawalli). Color reproductions of certain Safavid documents figure in the article as well as several tables of statistics and flow charts designed to help readers understood the operations related to revenues (avarajeh), costs (towjihat) and annual stipends (vazifeh) to `olama of the Āstān-e Qods in Mašhad during the 17th century.
