Mosleh al-Din Lari (also spelled Muslih; c.- April–May 1572), was a Persian scholar and historian. A native of Lar, Lari was a Sunnite born in early 16th-century Safavid Iran. As a result of Safavid persecution of Sunnis, he sought refuge at the Mughal court where he was received with respect by Emperor Humayun, who also became Lari's student. Following his patron's death, he moved to the Ottoman Empire, where he was offered a prestigious professorship in the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). Lari declined the offer, which resulted in a break of relations with the Ottoman Shaykh al-Islām, Ebussuud Effendi. He then settled down in Amed (present-day Diyarbakır), where he was appointed professor of the Hüsrev Pasha madrasa by the local Ottoman governor, and became tutor to the governor's children. An author of numerous annotations and commentaries, Lari's best-known work is the Mer'ât-al-advâr va merqât-al-akhbâr, a universal history written in Persian which he dedicated to Ottoman Sultan Selim II upon his accession to the throne.
