Abstract :

At the height of the flourishing of culture and art in the age of Ilkhans, one of the institutions that had a great contribution to these cultural and artistic developments were the new schools established in this period.Among the most important schools of this period are the schools of Soltaniyeh, which were established during the election of this city as the capital of Iran and flourished with the efforts of Shia scholars who came to this city at the invitation of the Mughal Sultan and continued their activities for a long time. During their presence in these schools, these scholars trained many students and authored valuable works. One of these schools is the "Seyareh School"(mobile School), which was headed by “al-Allama al-Hilli”, and it is considered a unique example of such schools and has made a significant contribution to the development of religious education at the beginning of the 14th century. In this research, while examining the history of these schools, teachers and works written by Shia scholars have been identified and remembered in them
