Features: Since the first time Rashid's (born around 1247, died on July 17, 1318) "History" was given the full and rightful attention it deserved, it has been over a hundred years. Rashid's "History" is one of the most important ancient documents in medieval history. In a sense, it is not only unique in Iran but also one of the unique works in books worldwide. Rashid's "History" is a vast historical encyclopedia. In the Middle Ages, no nation in Asia or Europe had such a book. The idea of compiling knowledge about world history itself was completely new at that time.
