Sharh-e Esm (book) explained

Sharh-e Esm (Persian: شرح اسم) (meaning: Name Description) is the biography of the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei.^[1] The book is written by Hedayatollah Behboudi (Persian: هدایت الله بهبودی),^{[2] [3] [4]} and has been translated in some other languages. It was published by the institute of Motaale’at wa Pazjuheshhayeh Siyasi (Political Studies and Research Institute).^[5]

"Sharh-e Esm" is about biography-related issues of Seyyed Ali Khamenei^{[6] [7]} —since 1939 to 1979^{[8] [9]} —consisting of matters such as his paternal and maternal ancestors (among his father, Seyyed Jawad Khamenei), and so forth.^[10] At the first time, this book was simultaneously unveiled with the holding of “International fair of Tehran book”, but its distribution was stopped due to being some historical mistakes; later on, it was distributed after fixing its difficulties.^[11]

In regards to choosing the name of the book Sharh-e Esm ("Name Description"),^[12] its writer (Hedayatollah Behboudi)^[13] mentions that: According to an expression in the science of logic: if we cannot understand the essence of a truth, we will "Sharh" (describe) it; and that's the reason for choosing such name for the book.^[14]
