Knowledge of the literature of mirrors has arisen where history has become a theoretical and practical reference for the ruler from which he draws principles, his policy in managing the affairs of the kingdom, and the goal of historical writing has become the confirmation of moral lessons, so the educational and educational goal has replaced the goal of the bear .. The clear purpose of it is either education for seven and ruling with previous examples of the people Politics and governance have either cost the moral value of good deeds and the environment for generations.Al-Thaalabi was one of the writers 'regrets belonging to this population, as his position as one of the writers' regrets was the good effect on the nature of his historical notation, and the current research is an attempt to explain the approach of this historian and what he added to the process of historical notation.
