Abu Saʿīd Abdul-Hay ibn Dhaḥḥāk ibn Maḥmūd Gardēzī (died c. 1061) (Template:Lang-fa) was a Persian geographer and historian of the early 11th century from Gardēz (now in Afghanistan) who wrote the book Zayn ul-Akhbār. Gardēzī's work is very important for the Islamic history of Central Asia and Eastern Persia.
Work
Gardīzī took a dispassionate view of history which is fairly remarkable for it's time . For example he does not either praise the Ghaznavids nor the coming of the Saljuqs. His style of Persian is simple but mature and provides one of the classical examples of Persian prose-writing.
