Abstract

Purpose: This paper explores the social, cultural, and economic rank of the position of seal-holder in the shrine of the 8th Shia Imam (=Astan-e Quds-e Razavi) in Mashad during from 16th to early 20th century. Method and Research Design: Data for this paper was collected from archive documents and library sources. Findings and Conclusion: The position was granted to prominent citizens. Although it was inferior compared to that of its counterpart in the kings’ courts, the Astan’ s sealholder was locally a high ranking position with considerable influence in the whole country. During the Safavids (16th and 17th centuries) the kings appointed the sealholder. During the Gajarids he was appointed by Motavalli Astan-e Quds-e Razavi (=the Custodian of the Shrine) The seal on every document was a non-arguable sign of authenticity. The position became obsolete after the practice of signing instead of sealing documents became common in the Pahlavi era.
