Barmakids as the most famous house of vizirat, throughtout the Abbasid
period, there are still many unanswerd questions. To know the primary and

existing anecdotal histories combined with a methodological inquiry and a

stories as well as the monographs about Barmakids from 4th century A.H.
onward, are introduced.
