Four main books of Biographical-Evaluation

Four main books of Biographical-Evaluation (Persian: چهار کتاب اصلی علم رجال, romanized: Chohar Ketab-e Asli-e Elme-Rejal), is a book, written by Seyyed Ali Khamenei[4][5] (in 1990); and is about a general view on Biographical evaluation, that is among the (Islamic) specialized sciences.

[6][7][8][9] The book Four Main Books of Biographical Evaluation[10][11] was published by "Daftare-Nashre Farhange-Eslami" (Islamic Culture Publishing Office) in 1990,[12] and is engaged in diverse items, among a general surveying to the Biographical evaluation, its definition, history, a brief consideration, ... and engaging in the books of Rejali.

This book also introduces two of those four books, namely: "Ekhtiar-Ma'refah-alrejal" and Sheikh Tusi's "Fehrest Kotobal-Shia Wa-Osulahom Walasma al-Mosnafin Wa-Ashabol-Osul" (i.e.: List of Shiite books and their principles and the names of the authors and the companions of the principles").

[13] In the meanwhile,[14][15][16] it postponed the other two books to be surveyed in future.
