Abstract
Local historiography in Iran, from the fifth century AH and starting with the rule of the Seljuks (431 AH), entered a new era. The study of the works of local Iranian historiography during the Seljuk period, relying on the main research question based on the nature of the local history of Iran in this era, indicates the emergence of changes in the historic class base, the methods of writing works, chronicles, the language of these works, the motives and goals of the historians as well as the addressees of this local chronicle. Accordingly, the next step in the investigation, following the change in the process of writing local chronicles, is to wonder why these changes are; for ease in this matter, the local chronicle of the Seljuk period has fallen into three categories: personality driven, policy, and combination. The study of local chronology of this course in the above category shows that the fundamental factor in changing the process of writing local chronicles is the widespread acceptance of the literary class of historians. These historians have different motives and goals in writing local chronicles than their predecessors, the differences in their motivations caused to revise in the methods used in writing local chronicles. With the arrival of this new class of historians, the change in the addressees’ class base of the local chronicle has come to pass, and as a result, the Persian language replaced the Arabic language in writing the local chronicle. Recent study is a historical-analytical research and the method used is explanatory. But at the same time, the fundamentals of sociology of knowledge have also been used to explore resources.
