Rostam al-Hokama (1766–1848)

Born 1766 CE, died 1848 CE.

Rostam al-Hokama (Persian: رستم الحکما; 1766–1848) was a scribe and historian during the late Zand and early Qajar eras in Iran. He is principally known as the author of the historical chronicle Rostam al-Tavarikh. His real name was Mohammad Hashem while "Rostam al-Hokama" was his honorific; and his pen-name was Asaf. He was the son of Amir Mohammad Hassan Khosh-Hekayat and a daughter of Amir Mokhtar Hosseini. The Iranian scholar Mohammad Taqi Danesh Pajouh considered Rostam al-Hokama to be the grandnephew of Mirza Samia, the author of the Tazkera al-Moluk. Rostam al-Hokama's existence has been called into question because he is not mentioned in any of the literary or historical writings of the Zand and Qajar eras. However, Rostam al-Hokama frequently made reference to himself, other individuals, and certain events from their lives in his books and treatises.
