It is not certain. People did not keep track of time like they do now. There were not as many exact dates back then as opposed to now. It is believed to be between the early 1300s and 1500s. In the 1300s, Sail al-Din started gathering strength and named the Safavid dynasty. He led military campaigns to help gather followers. In 1501, Isma'il led a larger scale military conquest against the Ottomans and formed the empire into the shape that we know as the Safavid Empire. You can make your conclusion on when it began based on that.
