Bozorgmehr-e Boxtagan (in Pahlavi: Wuzurgmihr ī Bōxtagān) is the name of a vizier of Xusro I Anōšīravān (dadgar) (reign 531-78) attested in literature and legand of Iran. He was a man of "exceptional wisdom and sage counsels"[who?] and later become a characterisation of the expression. The name has appeared in some of the important work in Persian literature most notably in Shahnameh.[1]
Bozorgmehr should not be confused with Borzūya the physician as historigraphical studies of post-Sassanid Persian literature as well as linguistic analysis show otherwise.[1]
An early reference to Bozorgmehr is from the Aydāgār ī Wuzurgmihr in which he is called an argbed-a high-ranking title in Sassanid and Parthian period. Later mention of him is given in the Shahnameh and also very briefly in Ṯaʿālebī’s Ḡorar and Masʿūdī’s Morūj.[1]
