Abstract
This paper analyzes a famous letter—and its commentaries—penned by Tahir b. al-Huseyin (d.
207/822), the vizier of the Abbasid Caliph Ma’mun (d. 218/833) to his son Abdullah (d.
230/844) on the occasion of latter’s appointment as the Governor of Raqqa and Egypt. The letter
is not only one of the earliest examples of political/diplomatic letters in the Islamic-Arabic literature,
but it also is considered among the very first examples of nasihatnâme literature, the preferred
definition of which is “the necessary qualifications of a ruler and the basic religious/moral
principles of administration”. The essay offers some remarks on the political and intellectual settings
of the letter; in addition, it sheds some light on biographies of a later commentator of the
letter and the translator of this commentory. Finally, we provide the critical edition of the Ottoman
scholar Damadzâde Ahmed Efendi’s (d. 1154/1741) Arabic commentary on the letter.
Key Words: The Vizier Tahir b. al-Husain, diplomatic letter, nasihatnama, Damadzadah Ahmad.
