(The Movement of Basra Imami Historians (From the Beginning to the Fourth HIjri Century

آگاهي از قلمرو جغرافيايي مورخان شيعه دوازده امامي و موضوعات مورد اهتمام آنها، مي تواند سودمندي هاي فراواني براي تحليل تاريخ اماميه داشته باشد. در پژوهش پيشِ رو، با رويكردي وصفي و تحليلي، فعاليت هاي تاريخ نگاري اصحاب اماميه از آغاز تا اواسط سده چهارم هجري در بصره مورد بررسي قرار گرفته است. يافته هاي پژوهش، حكايت از آن دارد كه اماميان بصره براي دفاع از انديشه هاي كلامي خويش، به مباحث تاريخي و تاريخ نگاري روي آوردند و همانند ديگر گروه هاي فكري سده هاي نخستين اسلامي، به بازخواني رويدادهاي تاريخي، به ويژه تاريخ صدر اسلام و تدوين آثاري در اين زمينه پرداختند.

The Basra School of Historiography has long been important and played part in registration of the historical events, accordingly the present paper deals with the Imami followers’ historiographical activities as the knowledge provided through Imami historians’ contributions within Basra School of Historiography helps us analyse the Imams’ history. Using the analytical-historical method, and based on the hypothesis that “the Imami had focused on the historical and historiographical debates in order to defend their theological (Kalam) ideology and the same as other intellectual groups, they were actively involved in registering/writing the historical events and then revised their works”, the present research attempts to measure the share and role of the Imami, as an important intellectual and political movement in the development of the Basra Historiography
