description The growth of translation in the Safavid period can be seen alongside the growth of Persian writing. During this period, many Shi'ite texts were translated from Arabic to Persian. Persian writing grew relatively after the Mongol invasion along with Iranian identity and following the spread of Imami Shiism. During the Safavid era, Persian writing in "translation" also took its path towards expansion. In addition, Persian writing shows an emphasis on language and national identity. Examining the selection of "translation" texts by translators is a significant point and it provides useful information in the field of thought and culture. The evolution in translation themes can be understood by the statistical analysis of the translations of these centuries. These subjects are different in the 10th century, the period of the establishment of the Safavids, and the 11th century, the period of their consolidation. The dominant discourse in this era can be seen in the change in the choice of texts by the translators. What factors caused this change? What was the motivation of translation supervisors and translators for choosing texts? The translations have enlightening historical data that show us the political and ideological changes during this era. In this thesis, in a descriptive-analytical method, we have tried to address the demand of changing the choice of text and content of translation texts and to indicate that in this period based on news, verbal methods have been used to construct and spread Shiism as a constructive ideology in the life of the Safavids.
