Abstract

In addition to being one of the most important mongol historical works, Tārikh- ‘i-Jahāngushā is also a literary masterpiece of Persian literature. In the present study, the moral and didactic aspects of Tārikh- ‘i-Jahāngushā are considered and specified. The major argument of this study is that in addition to Tārikh- ‘i-Jahāngushā’s historical values, it is a tour de force regarding the promulgation of moral and didactic issues. To prove this argument, the researchers have categorized historical issues into positive and negative. In addition, they have scrutinized different kinds of expressing moral issues by Juvayni. The results of this study indicate that Juvayni in the position of an instructor of morality had been more inclined to encourage people to righteous moral deeds, and warning people against negative deeds has had a lower position in his moral thought. Additionally, it seems that the diversity of moral issue expression methods indicates the importance of didacticism and morality in his ideological system.
