The Tarikh-e Alam-ara-ye Abbasi (Persian: تاریخ عالم‌آرای عباسی, romanizedWorld Adorning History of Abbas), written in Persian, is a chronicle covering the history of the early Safavid dynasty of Iran, particularly Shah Abbas I (r. 1587–1629).[1] Its author was his court historian and scribe Iskandar Beg Munshi, who completed it in 1629.[2]

The book is considered the most significant piece of Iranian historiography written about the Safavids.[3] It has greatly influenced Safavid studies and serves as the foundation for a number of widely held beliefs regarding Safavid history.[1]
