Seyyed Ali Khamenei; whose biography has been written in the book of "Sharh-e Esm"

"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]
