Muhammad ibn Hendushah Nakhjavani (also spelled Nakhjivani; b. c. 1287 – c. 1290, d. after 1366), also known as Šams-i Munšī was a 14th-century author of several works written in Persian.
[1][2] He is often mistaken for his father Hindushah, who notably wrote the historical chronicle Tajarib al-Salaf, a translation and modification of the Kitab al-fakhri, originally written in Arabic by Ibn al-Tiqtaqa (died 1310).
[1] With the guidance of Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad, Nakhjavani started writing the administrative manual of Dastur al-Katib fi Ta'yin al-Maratib,[4] which he completed on 19 May 1360.
[1] Regardless, Nakhjavani commends both rulers in the work, and portrays Shaykh Uways as the legitimate successor to the Ilkhanate.
[5] The Dastur al-katib contains valuable information about the administration of the Ilkhanate realm,[1] as well as the political ideology of the Jalayirids.
