Product Description
This volume deals with one of the most prominent Jewish poets of Iran, known as `Emrani (1454-1536 CE). The book consists of three parts. The first part studies `Emrani's time, life and work and analyzes in depth the poet's last major work entitled "Ganj-name" ("The Book of Treasure"). "Ganj-name", which is closely modelled after compositions of classical Persian literature, is `Emrani's versified commentary of the ethical tractate of the Mishnah commonly known as "Pirqey Abot" ("The Chapters of the Fathers"). The second part of the book offers the English translation, annotation and source study of "Ganj-name". The third and last part of the book provides a critical edition of "Ganj-name".
