ON THE EXAMPLE OF A RARE MANUSCRIPT “SHARH-I FUSUS AL-HIKAM”

Abstract

The poet, manokibnavis, Maulana Fakhr ad-Din Ali Safi Kashifi Kheravi, who lived and worked in Herat during the XV-XVI centuries, is truly one of the leading researchers in the scientific and literary environment of Herat, a representative of the classical literature of the East.

Ali Safi was a talented poet, famous tazkiranavis and manokibnavis, famous preacher of his time (Navoi, Khandamir, Komi).

Ali Safi Hirawi is a master of calligraphy, also served as first secretary to Maulana Jami. Unfortunately, this side of the creative personality has not yet been specifically studied in science. We would like to dwell on this unique ability of the creator - the handwritten book “Sharh-i Fusus al-hikam”, which is the result of his calligraphic activity, and his fruitful work. “Sharh-i Fusus al-Hikam” is a large-scale mystical work of Maulana Abdurahman Jami.
