Description

Serial: 08303PPBL25

This is a historical Persian legal document known as a “مصالحه نامه” (conciliation/reconciliation deed), dated 1246 هجری قمری (lunar Hijri), equivalent to 1830 میلادی (Gregorian) and 1209 خورشیدی (solar Hijri / Jalali calendar). Issued during the Qajar dynasty (under Fath-Ali Shah or early Mohammad Shah era), such documents typically recorded out-of-court settlements (مصالحه) for disputes over property, inheritance, debts, or land, avoiding litigation in sharia or customary courts.

Format: Handwritten on paper, large size 48 × 25 cm (unusual for standard deeds; possibly a formal or multi-party agreement).
Key elements: Persian text in calligraphic script, official seal(s) (ممهور) for authentication, date “1246 هجری قمری” prominently noted, parties’ names, terms of agreement, witnesses’ signatures, and possibly qazi endorsement.
Historical context: Common in 19th-century Iran for civil resolutions under Islamic law (often citing Quranic principles of sulh/peaceful settlement). Reflects Qajar administrative and judicial practices amid social/economic changes. Withdrawn from legal use long ago; now a vintage archival/historical collectible, valued in manuscript studies, Iranian history, and Islamic legal documents. Currently professionally framed for display and preservation.
