Although some historians have emphasized the socioeconomic importance of local elites, they have only examined such aspects as their waqf property and purchases of land in order to evaluate the impact of the emergence of the Qājār Dynasty on local elites. What is needed now is research aiming at the socioeconomic features of local elites for their own sake; for example, studies of estate portfolios and systems of inheritance. For this reason, the author of this article focuses on all-out attempts at comprehensive “property retention” by Fatḥ ‘Alī Khān (d. 1875) as well as the legal nature of his ownership rights.First, the author compares two inventories related to Fatḥ ‘Alī, one which included sharīʻa documents, the other being a pure inventory, in order to focus on the pieces of real estate registered in them and differences between them, then collate these differences with other source materials. As a result, it is shown that Fatḥ ‘Alī attempted to retain and manage not only his own legally owned real estate but also that of his mother, Mehrjahān, in a consolidated fashion. This constitutes an example of “property retention” not in accord with legal ownership customs, but which continued after Fatḥ ‘Alī’s death. His successor, Ḥoseynqolī, became the de facto retainer of all the property, which included Mehrjahān’s estate and Fatḥ ‘Alī’s inheritance, which had been “divided” de jure among many heirs.The article concludes with two points. First, Fatḥ ‘Alī’s family utilized “property retention” tactics for the administration of all their real estates in a consolidated fashion. Secondly this kind of “property retention” resulted from a tactical transfer of wealth to the next generation emphasizing stability, in order to avoid the division of property as inheritance required under Islamic law. It follows, therefore, that Fatḥ ‘Alī Khān’s “property retention” reflected the fact that his family had formed a de facto “hereditary patrimony,” an institution not in accord with the Islamic legal principles.}, pages = {223--252(01~030)}, title = {19世紀イランの地方社会の有力者による「財産保有」策:ファトフアリー・ハーン・ドンボリーの二通の遺産目録を手がかりに}, volume = {92}, year = {2010}, yomi = {アベ, ナオフミ} }
