Abstract One of the Qajar princes who ruled Isfahan for about a decade and left a prominent mark on the history of Isfahan in his time is Saif al-Dawla Mohammad Mirza, known by the pen name Sultan.
Keywords Saif al-Dawla ـ Seyyed Shafti ـ Vafa Zavare'i ـ Government of Isfahan In parts of the Tazkirah Ma'athir al-Baqeriyeh, the work of Mirza Mohammad Ali Vafa Zavare'i ـ an Ardastani scholar ـ of which a copy is available in the Majlis Library, specifically in the section of Risalah Masjediyeh, which is the end of the Tazkirah, the ruler of Isfahan at the time ـ Saif al-Dawla ـ is mentioned, and his relations with Vafa and Seyyed Shafti are briefly discussed.
Among the other works of Saif al-Dawla in Isfahan are the construction of the Khajeha Mansion, Garden, and Bath [35] behind the Talar-e Tavileh mansion, as well as the Tekyeh and Bagh-e Khosrovkhani mansion [36], and Bagh-e Rashk-e Jahan behind the Shah Mosque [37], and also the Tekyeh of the late Sheikh Mohammad Taqi (the Prince's Mother's Tekyeh) [38].
However, the atmosphere of Isfahan's street thugs (luti-zadeh) of that era on one hand, and the wickedness of some Bakhtiari tribes on the other, gradually pushed the second half of Sultan Mohammad Mirza Saif al-Dawla's ten-year reign toward chaos bit by bit.
[74] Bamdad also says elsewhere, "Mohammad Mirza (the first Saif al-Dawla), after being dismissed from Isfahan, went to Baghdad and resided there with the Shah's permission[75].
