Abstract

Purpose: Ruznāme/ruznāma is a Persian word that entered the Arabic language from Pahlavi ruznāmag in ancient times and was used in texts in that language as Al-Ruznamaj and Al-Ruznāmajah. In Persian, the varieties of Roznāmaj, Ruznāmje, and Ruznāmcheh were also common and had many examples.
Method and Research: The research method in this article is description and through content analysis and the method of collecting sources in this library research. The "daftar-e ruznāme" was the most important and main Divāni tome where all the daily events, such as interventions, expenditures, and matters such as handing over responsibilities, complaints, events, and decrees issued, were written in order and day-by-day, along with their details.
Findings and Conclusions: Since what is said in general cultures about the idiomatic and legal meaning of ruznāmje is often not accurate. In this article, an attempt has been made to define and analyze the term "ruznāme" according to the first-hand sources of Estifā (Bureaucratic science) and its features and characteristics. Also, with the same approach, it has been tried to express the difference between the Daftar-e ruznāme and other similar Divāni tomes.
