The Tārīkh-i Āl-i Saldjūq ("History of the Seljuk dynasty"), is an anonymous court account of the architectural endeavors of the Seljuk Sultans of Rum. [1] Written in Persian and from a perspective of a courtier, it covers the Sultanate of Rum from the end of the twelfth to the beginning of the fourteenth centuries. [1]
Although the Tārikh-i Āl-i Saldjūq has no formal structure or system, it does contain valuable information concerning the building and architectural patronage throughout the sultanate. [1] Accordingly, it also details how military construction was the responsibility of the Sultan's amirs. [2] The Tarikh goes into more detail, concerning the amirs' discontent, than the writings of the principal Rum Seljuk historian Ibn Bibi. [3]

The Tārikh-i Āl-i Saldjūq was published in 1553 with a translation into Turkish by F.N. Uzluk in 1952. [1]
