Persian Poetry Created as highly illustrated manuscripts, these masterpieces of Persian poetry demonstrate the important place of literature, poetry, and bookmaking in the Persian-speaking world. From the tenth century to the sixteenth century Persian classical poetry developed as a literary language by adapting the meter and rhyme scheme of the Arabic poetic tradition. Even the written works by philosophers, historians, and scientists were often delivered in verse. During this period, three major styles of Persian poetry came to prominence: the epic panegyric Khorasani style developed around the tenth century in eastern Persia; the Iraq-i ‘Ajami (Western Persian style) that emerged in the thirteenth century, a lyrical style that uses mystical Sufi concepts; and the Sabk-i Hindi (the Indian style), which emerged in the fifteenth century. Despite differences among the various styles, there remains continuity in the poetic and aesthetic styles of classical Persian poetry present in works produced as early as the tenth century by the poet Rūdakī up to the works of the fifteenth-century poet Jāmī. In this book poet tries to have a collection of all styles but the subject is all about contemporary Iran.
