Summary/Abstract: The first stage in a study on any subject is to examine and evaluate prior studies on that subject. Modern computer technologies offer the researcher good facilities to do this easily. However, to do this, it is very important to choose the right tools and right method. The relational database systems are the right tools for this task. This article offers a database model for collecting the data from the tafsir history books and converting them to a database. If this model is developed and published as online, it would be very useful data source for tafsir researchers.
