'''''Tabaqat-i Nasiri''''' ({{lang-fa|{{Nastaliq|طبقات ناصری}}}}), named for ''Sultan'' [[Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah, Sultan of Delhi|Nasir-ud-Din]], is an elaborate history of the Islamic world written in Persian by [[Minhaj-i-Siraj|Minhaj-i-Siraj Juzjani]]{{sfn|Bosworth|1963|p=10-11}} and completed in 1260.{{sfn|Siddiqi|2010|p=83}} Consisting of 23 volumes and written in a blunt straightforward style, Juzjani devoted many years to the creation of this book even providing references for his information.{{sfn|Mehta|1986|p=8-9}} Although a large portion of the book is devoted to the Ghurids, it also contains a history of the predecessors in Ghazna before the [[Ghaznavid]] [[Sebuktigin]] took power.{{sfn|Bosworth|1963|p=10-11}} In compiling his ''Tabaqat i Nasiri'', Juzjani used other books now lost; part of Baihaqi's reign of Sebuktigin, Abu'l-Qasim Imadi's ''Ta'rikh-i mujadwal'' and most likely Ibn Haisam's ''Qisas-i thani''.{{sfn|Bosworth|1963|p=10-11}} Juzjani's "''tabaqat''" would initiate the form of writing for dynastic history in centuries to come.{{sfn|Siddiqi|2010|p=83}}<br />
