15. HASHIMIYEH FAMILY OF SHIRAZ-
This family has its name from its founder, Hajji Hashim, who, as
some say, was a Jew converted to Islam, but figures in the family s
genealogy as a descendant of the famous Hajji Kavvam ed Din, who
flourished in the fourteenth century, and is mentioned by Hafiz.
According to the genealogy, Hajji Hashim was a son of Hajji
Mahmud, and a grandson of Hajji Muhammad Ali, a merchant
of Shiraz, who in 1718 founded the Hashimiyeh Mosque and
College at Shiraz, and named them after his father, Hajji
Hashim I. Hajji Hashim II took service under Nadir Shah,
and in 1748 became Kedkhoda bashi of the five Haidari parishes
of Shiraz. He had five sons :—

Aka Muhammad, held that appointment for some time ;

Firma, Husain Ali Mirza, and died in 1889. Of Mehdi
