  Notes	Ol Din (the pillar of Religion) Vazir (Minister) Distinction of having been mentioned in a poem by his contemporary Hafez. Local Tradition, has it that they were originally Jewish, and this assertion is repeated in a secret British Who's Who of Iran compiled in the 1890's [3] Qewam-al-Din Hasan, the minister of the 14th-century Muzaffarid dynasty (after whom the influential house of Qawam[-al-Molk] was named), but his paternal Jewish ancestry cannot be established beyond doubt. [4] Two of the greatest ministers of this era managed long terms of office and natural deaths. One was Khwajeh Qavam al-Din Hassan Tamghachi. The minister of Abu Eshaq, who died in 1353 during the Mozaffarid siege of Shire. According to the sources Qavam al-Din was a model vazir: generous, faithful, culture-loving, and religious. Not only did he generously endow schools and other public works, hut he was also instrumental in setting up Abu Eshaq’s circle of poetry and high living. He may have brought the young Hafez into the group of Inju court poets who enjoyed Abu Eshaq’s patronage and sang the praises of the young ruler. Qavam al-Din had his own circle of learned men and poets, of which Hafez was probably a member. Another minister who enjoyed a long term of office was Khawjeh Jabi al Din Turanshah, the minister of Shah Shoja from 1369 until that ruler’s death in 1384. [5] Mowlana Qavam al-Din's father, Mowlana Najm al-Din Faqih, was also a noted teacher. (To be confirmed). [6] Ghavam Ol Din Hassan was Tamghachi (keeper of the Seal) [7]
