More than 150 years have passed since the compilation of dastur-e sokhxan (1289 AH) by Mirzā Habibـ e Esfahāni, which is generally considered the first orderly and modern grammar of the Persian language. Since then, various Persian grammars have been compiled. Grammars are often divided into types, including "traditional grammars", "prescriptive grammars", "descriptive grammars", "comprehensive grammars", "pedagogical grammars" and "scientific grammars". In this article, based on linguistic criteria, we present a new classification for Persian grammars: 1) non-linguistic grammars, 2) linguistic grammars which include two subtypes: a) non-theory-driven, and b) theory-driven grammars. The characteristics of seven grammars have been evaluated by such criteria as: 1) definition of language and its components, 2) definition of grammar and its levels, 3) its assumptions, 4) its goals 5) its methodology, 6) level of descriptiveness of grammar, 7) levels of adequacy of grammar , 8) types of explanations, 9) the adaptation of general linguistics, and 10) its theoretical orientation. The results of the study show that the theory-driven grammars are more descriptive and explanatory than the previous ones. The chronology of the evolution of the concepts and innovations of the science of linguistics in the western world and its adaptation to the emergence of grammar types in the Persian language confirms the idea that the advances of theoretical linguistics over time have a significant effect on the nature of Persian grammars.
