The Relations between the Viziers and Emirs during the Timurid Period (A Case Study of the Relation of Qiyath al-Din Pir Ahmad Khwafi to the Timurid Emirs and Viziers)

در دوره تيموري، اميران اغلب ترك- مغول، و وزيران ايراني بودند. عدم تمايز بين امور لشكري و كشوري و قدرت و اقتدار اميران و كوشش ديوانسالاران ايراني براي حفظ منافع خود، زمينه كشمكش و رقابتي دايم را بين آنان فراهم ساخته بود. دوره طولاني وزارت خواجه غياث الدين پيراحمد خوافي(م857ق)، از وزراي معروف شاهرخ تيموري، كه توانست در برابر اميران موقعيت خود را حفظ كند، در تاريخ تيموريان حايز اهميت بسيار است. در اين مقاله مناسبات دو نهاد وزارت و امارت، با تاكيد بر وزارت خواجه غياث الدين پيراحمد، مورد بررسي خواهد گرفت.

In this article, the relations between the institution of vizierate and emirate is studied, with an emphasis on the vizierate of Khawja Qiyath al-Din Pir Ahmad,
