Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to one of the genres of the so called “artificial” Persian poetry – ta’rikh (chronogram), which combines the qualities of a literary composition and a historical source. When analyzing literary merits of ta’rikh, it is important to take into consideration its close connection with other poetic genres and forms (marsiye, hadjv, fakhriye, ruba‘i, qit‘e, etc.). For a historian, ta’rikh is interesting primarily as some rhymed phrases which briefly describe the essence of an event and report its date.
