Golshan-e Morad

The Golshan-e Morad is a historical text of the Zand dynasty by Abu'l-Hasan Mostawfi Ghaffari.[1]

Despite a few errors in the information for the last years of Karim Khan Zand's reign (1751–1779), when Abu'l-Hasan Mostawfi was reportedly in Kashan instead of the capital of Shiraz, it is considered the most comprehensive and generally the most trustworthy of the Zand records for the period after 1755.[1]
