Özet:

As there are few decrees from medieval Iran which have survived to the preseılt day, it is necessary to collect and publish them in their entirety. This article is a contibution to this project. It published, translates, and gives a commentary on the four Persian decrees (yarlig) written in Adharbaijan (Sultaniyya, Ribata al-Divan, Ardabil and Dar al-Mulk Tabriz) between the years 730-731/1330-1331. These decrees of Abu Sa`id Khan (1317-1335) can be found in a volume (majmu'a) of collected texts in the Kitabkhana-yi Milli-yi Malik Library (no. 3697) in Tehran. The decrees generally deal with taxes, tax collection difficulties and problems faced by the populace. The analysis of the decrees (yarlig) from a diplomatic and historical perpective both enriches the knowledge of the social, economic, and the administrative structure of the Ilhanid state and confirms the existing knowledge of chronicles of that period.)>
