The translations were usually dedicated to Shah Tahmasp and sometimes given titles such as Tuḥfa-ye shāhī, Fiqh-e shāhī and Tafsīr-e shāhī. However, Tahmasp's daughters, Pari Khan Khanum and Mahin Banu Sultanum, too, are known to have commissioned translations of Shi'ite religious works into Persian (ibid., 980–81).

Apart from the obvious fact of the overthrow of the Safavids by the Sunni Afghans, suffice it to point out that the last powerful Safavid grand vizier, Fath ‘Ali Khan Daghistani, who was dismissed and blinded the year before the fall of Isfahan, was a Lezgian Sunni. So was his nephew, Lutf ‘Ali Khan, who was the governor of Fars and the last powerful Safavid general until he was dismissed with his uncle. See Roemer, H.
