Tahirid dynasty
Jalal al-Din Mirza, during the last years of life, wrote a semi-historical book about the history of Iran named "Name-ye Khosrovan", potentially one of the first comprehensive nationalistic works about the country. The first volume was released in 1868, and dealt with the ancient history of Iran until the fall of the Sasanian Empire. The second volume (1870) covered the history of Iran in the Islamic era from the Tahirid dynasty till the fall of the Khwarazmshahs. The third volume (1871) dealt with the Mongol era to the Zand dynasty. Jalal al-Din Mirza had already become blind at the time of the issuance of the second volume, and had also contracted syphilis (which possibly played a role in his loss of eyesight). He died in 1872, at the age of 46.
