Abstract
“Menahaj Al-Talebin Fee Ma’aref Al-Sadeghin” is one of general history books of 8th century, and had written by “Ali ben-Hoseyn ben-Ali, Alaa Qazvini” (726 or 727- 793 AH), in the period of 778-779 AH. The authors of this article tried to investigate Alaa Qazvini’s style through his book; so they interpreted “Menahaj Al-Talebin” in three different levels including: 1) Intellectual level, 2) Linguistic level, and 3) Literary level. His desire for Shia is the most significant intellectual feature. At the linguistic level, authors have focused on rare words and compounds used in this book.
