Nizam al-Mulk

orig. Abu 'Ali Hasan ibn 'Ali

(born c. 1018/19, Tus, Khorasan, Iran—died Oct. 14, 1092, Nahavand) Persian vizier of the Turkish Seljuq dynasty sultans. He worked for the rulers of the Ghaznavid dynasty before serving Alp-Arslan as governor of Khorasan. In 1063 he was made vizier, a position he occupied for 30 years, serving Alp-Arslan's son Malik-Shah from the latter's ascension. Believing that a ruler's power should be absolute and that the ruler should preserve the kingdom's stability and traditions, he recorded his views in the Seyasat-nameh (“Book of Government”). He is seen as the quintessential vizier and as a staunch Sunnite Muslim. He promoted the madrasah as a centre of learning, partly to combat Shi'ite propaganda. He was murdered, likely by an Isma'ili Assassin, after falling out of favour with Malik-Shah.

He supported strong central authority and expounded his views in Siyasatnama (On the History and Art of Government). Several editions of the Persian text of this work exist, along with French, Russian, German, and English translations. Nizam al-Mulk was murdered by the Ismailians.
