Safavid Iran and Her Neighbors Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano Their poetry is devotional andThe Safavid dynasty (1501 1722) originated in one of the many Turkish, possibly Kurdish, dervish orders begun shortly after the Mongol invasion. Its founder, Isma'il, took advantage of the chaotic political situation at the end of the fifteenth century to establish control over the territory that comprises most of current day Iran. Safavid rulers established Shi'ism as the dominant ideology, the Muslim faith still observed by the majority of Iranians.
