Ta’ziya at Female Prison in Homeland

Alexandre Chodzko, the Polish Iranologist and consul of Russia in (1246/1830 – 1256/1840) was among the fans of traditional plays of Ta’ziya who attended mostly in Ta’ziya sessions held by the government and royalties. He was the first person who paid attention to the value of Ta’ziya Nama [script of plays] and bought the most complete collection of Ta’ziya nama for 33 sessions from Husayn ‘Ali Khwaja, the mu’in al-buka’ of the court of Fath ‘Ali Shah who recited some of the poems in those Ta’ziyas.
