Abu Bakr Tihrani

In its introduction, he calls himself "Abu Bakr al-Tihrani al-Isfahani", which implies that he was a native of Tihran, a village adjacent to Isfahan.

The city was soon captured by the Qara Qoyunlu leader Jahan Shah (r. 1438–1467), who appointed his son Muhammadi Mirza as its governor.

He wrote down the terms of the peace treaty between Jahan Shah and the Timurid ruler Abu Sa'id Mirza (r. 1451–1469), which was signed by the end of the very year.

It is unclear if Tihrani also accompanied Jahan Shah during his battle against the Aq Qoyunlu leader Uzun Hasan (r. 1453–1478) in 1466/7, which resulted in the defeat of the former.

[2] During his stay in Qazvin, Tihrani encountered Mawlana Shams al-Din, an emissary of Sayyidi Ali Beg, governor of Shiraz, who was en route to Ardabil to submit to Abu Sa'id Mirza.

[4] Some of his writings are cited in various sources, including a document by Uzun Hasan in Husayn Harawi's Jami al-insha, which reports the appointment of Yadgar Muhammad Mirza to the governorship of Khurasan.
