Zarrin Taj Varedi (Author in Charge), Maral Shahbazi

Abstract
Sixth and seventh centuries, in the evolution of history of Persian prose, are considered as the most important periods from the viewpoint of words, devices, literary compositions, and technical characteristics. The movement that began in the late sixth and the early seventh centuries for writing historical prose in artificial secretory prose style, found some sponsors and fans. The pioneer of this group of writers was Atâ-Malek Juvayni. But followers of Atâ-Malek who wrote their works as followers of Jahān-gushā, did not appropriately understand the truth of the master’s work. The aim of this study is to survey stylistic features of the three historical works: Rahat al-sudur by Rawandi, Avamer-Al-Alaeiyeh by Ibn Bibi, and Masamerat-Al-Akhbar by Mahmud Aghsaraei which are helpful resources of the Seljuk history. Except Rawandi, authors of the two other works have been followers of style of Jahān-gushā by Atâ-Malek. In this study, after a brief description of the circumstances of Sultanate of Rûm and their role in the spread of Persian languages in that area and also surveying the technical prose style features, the three works have been briefly presented. Then the books have been carefully examined in the three areas of the language, literature, and thought and some samples of the works were mentioned as examples.
