Mourning ceremonies related to Muharram have had a special place in the Qajar period, but the views of the Qajar aristocracy and nobility with ordinary people about these ceremonies cannot be considered the same. These two classes have had different traditions in holding mourning ceremonies. In this article, this issue was studied based on the reports written by the foreign travel writers of the Qajar period and it was tried to answer the question of what differences there have been between the mourning traditions of the Qajar aristocracy and nobility and ordinary people based on these travelogues. This hypothesis was followed that the aristocracy and nobility probably held mourning traditions at a different level from that of ordinary people in terms of rituals, luxuries, and expenses because of having greater access to wealth resources. Hence, by examining 22 travelogues, which were based on the travel writers’ objective observations, it was concluded that the aristocracy and nobility differed from ordinary people in terms of their mourning places and forms, as well as expenses. They followed different rituals and customs when holding these ceremonies.

The discussion of moral virtues and vices is one of the common ideas in the moral and mystical beliefs of ancient Iran and India. According to the idea of dualism, vice traits are caused by the forces of evil and darkness, and good traits are influenced by the forces of good and light. Avoiding vices, especially the vice of anger, is emphasized in this common thought and its expression in Avesta, Pahlavi, and Manichaean works of ancient Iran and the works of Vedic, Brahminical, and Buddhist literature of ancient India. In the Shahnameh, the battle of these two forces of good and evil can be seen in the thoughts, words and actions of the characters in Ferdowsi's stories and words. In Mawlavi's Masnavi, there is a battle between good and evil in human existence. In this research, the attribute of anger in ancient Iran and India has been investigated based on Shahnameh and Masnavi, with a comparative and analytical method. According to this study, anger is used in the two concepts of the demon of anger and the vice of anger in the works of Iran and ancient India. We can see the reflection and influence of these two concepts in Shahnameh and Masnavi. Therefore, the research shows that the devil makes people feel demonic through the unpleasant attribute of anger and moves them away from the group of goodness and light and closer to the group of evil and darkness. Now, this anger can have a demonic face or a blasphemous quality. Therefore, by analyzing the evidence of the works, we have shown that Ferdowsi and Molavi, as two great poets of the Islamic period, have well expressed these concepts of ancient Iranian and Indian thought in the Shahnameh and Masnavi, and have adhered to the continuity of their ancient Aryan culture.

This paper aims to study the image of Iranian women in the Safavid era within the work of French priest Raphael Du Mans entitled the Status of Iran in 1660 . This book is one of the first works written in French about Safavid Iran and its author is unique among European tourists who traveled to Iran due to the length of his stay in Iran (more than half a century) and is also more famous than many other French tourists like Jean Chardin or Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. The present research seeks to first thematically classify the descriptions that Du Mans presents of Iranian women, based on the knowledge and method of imagology and then analyze his evaluative attitude towards Iranian women in each of these themes. Then, the reasons for this attitude are investigated based on intra-textual and extra -textual components. For this purpose the images of women within his book are extracted and classified. These images include women of religious minorities, the position of women inside and outside the house, dancing women, issues related to women's marriage and divorce, and polygamy. Then, by referring to historical resources and also checking the intratextual signs based on imagology the positive or negative evaluation of the images and the context of their formation are analyzed and identified. The result of the research is that most of the images that Du Mans presents of Iranian women have a negative connotation; the reason for which can be found in the purpose of his trip his European sense of superiority and also his ideas about women as a Catholic priest. Most of the images presented in Raphael Du Mans 's book can be considered direct images, because the author has lived in Iran for many years and has made numerous observations

How the universe was originally created and the creation of natural elements and their fit with numbers has always been of human interest. Although the myths of creation reflect the mindset of primitive man, they often seek a purposeful structure. With the importance and role that water has in life and has caused it to play a special role in the beliefs of all nations, a group of ancient tribes sought the origin of all creation in water. The existence of water at the beginning of creation based on ancient Iranian texts has always been considered and in the belief of the ancient Iranians, the creation of water takes place after the sky. In pre-Zoroastrian religions and also in Zoroastrian religion, water has always been sacred and goddesses and goddesses were in charge of protecting and guarding it. A significant part of the myths of ancient Iranian religions is dedicated to water. In the cultural and biological system of the early periods of life, humans used special methods to recognize and introduce the phenomena of existence, one of which is myth. Myths are among the first arguments and cognitive explanations of early humans to determine the nature and location of the available and unknown elements of nature, and they include part of the human cognitive system in the beginning of mankind. This research has studied and analyzed the role of sacred numbers three and seven in the creation of waters with a descriptive and analytical approach. The results of the research indicate that numbers influence nature and the objects under their control, and in this way they mediate between God and the world of creation. In between, the number three is more spiritual and has a role in religious belief and Yazidi and good affairs, and the number seven is more material and sometimes spiritual in the creation of water.

The present research aims to explore the significance of revisiting the opinions of Muslim scholars, particularly the prominent Muslim thinker Farabi, in relation to public policy-making in the field of Iranian Islamic architecture. The main question addressed in this study is: "What capacity do the opinions of Muslim scholars, both in general and specifically those of Farabi, offer for formulating public policies in the realm of Iranian Islamic architecture within the framework of governance?"To answer this question, the research utilizes the method of document content analysis to examine the opinions of these scholars and categorize their responses. The findings of the study indicate that, from the perspective of Muslim scholars, it is essential to establish a harmonious relationship between opinion and action when dealing with issues related to collective life. They argue that effective public policy-making should be seen as a comprehensive governance tool, rooted in cognitive abilities that understand the reality of human existence. By adopting such an approach, the aim is to propel collective life towards an ideal model based on a value system.The overall implications of these viewpoints provide alternative theories for policy-making in the domain of Iranian Islamic architecture. Therefore, understanding the nuances of opinion and action, adopting a holistic approach to Iranian Islamic architecture, and supporting and overseeing the implementation of public policies are considered significant contributions of Muslim scholars in shaping public policy-making in the field of Iranian Islamic architecture. Farabi's intellectual framework serves as a valuable case study in this regard.

The course of literary themes in different periods of Persian poetry shows that the relationship between literature and society is an inevitable and definite relationship. Literary works are the product of social content and a mirror of the thoughts, culture and customs of society. One can find social equations for what is presented in the literature and show that there is a two-way relationship between literary topics and social, political, historical and cultural issues. For example, the reflection of geopolitical issues influenced by individual and religious nervousness arising from the political and governmental necessities of the time, in the interests of Islamic caliphs and authoritarian rulers of post-Islamic Iran, shows that court poets as one of the media. In order to strengthen the interests of the ruling political and religious currents, the prominent propagandists of the society have expressed themes in line with the communicated discourses, such as encouraging kings to open up the country and attacking other lands to spread the religion. Islam and Khulud have been the names of kings in the pages of history, as a result of which geographical space and, consequently, the accumulation of capital have brought to the rulers of the time. Therefore, considering the importance of this issue politically, geographically and socially and its manifestation in the way of thinking of court poets, we decided to study the issue from the perspective of the most prominent poets of the fifth century AH and the great conqueror of that era, Mahmoud Ghaznavi. Conclusion Show that based on the spirit of the Ghaznavid era of Iran, poets with ideological views, flattering behavior and flattery have taken important steps towards the idea of territorial expansion, politically and ideologically, and the king of the time in action They have helped with openness and territorial development, both psychologically and psychologically. It is worth mentioning that the present research is descriptive-analytical and has been done by library method.

An effective and useful communication requires an expression that has a proper structure so that it does not threaten the dignity of the participants, and the strategies of Politeness in verbal exchanges are to establish a useful and effective communication by preserving the image of the participants and not threatening the reputation of the speaker and audience; However, contrary to the usual global practice in which the process of democratization of relations, reduction and elimination of differences between the level of participants and the tendency to equality and level, has prevailed, in our society today, it is observed that in some verbal interactions; Consciously or unconsciously, polite expressions, terms and words have been used too much of necessity and necessity, which in addition to violating Grace's "principle of quantity" and threatening the speaker's face, this assumption can also be considered probable. Which is for the purpose of flattery. However, for any purpose, the structure is inappropriate and speakers need to be both aware and have the right verbal communication skills to speak correctly, consciously and artistically in their verbal interactions and their speech has a structural balance, for this purpose in this article In addition to citing the results of the findings of other researchers in this field, in order to achieve a suitable and preferred structure, the conversations of the book "Tales of Amir Ali 1" which has 28 parts and 30 stories modern have been studied and while finding several related examples, and mentioning some One of them in a suitable place in the text of this article, based on the theory of Brown and Levinson Politeness and its , faces and indicators and capacities of pronouns, verbs and broad terms of Persian language and review and analysis of all data in a descriptive-analytical method for this question. What is the structure of polite and flattering expressions in verbal exchanges? And other possible questions related to the position have been answered appropriately and new tricks have been proposed that are unprecedented. That is, it is an innovative and new solution.

The set of studies about Iran, especially historical, literary, cultural, geographical, and linguistic studies, is called Iranology. A science that is four centuries old and was created by westerners. Iranology from the establishment of the first language schools to the establishment of Iranology in the world's major universities has passed great changes in these four centuries. In the twentieth century, some Iranians also entered the field of Iranology due to traveling to Europe and observing the work of orientalists and Iranologists, breaking the monopoly of Iranology of the west. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of western Iranology and how "National Iranology" was formed by using descriptive-analytical method. The achievements of this research show that on the one hand insufficient literacy of western Iranologists, Iranology influence project and biased expression of research results by Orientalists and Iranologists and on the other hand scientific presentation away from prejudice and bias by Iranian researchers, self-knowledge versus otherness, recognizing the cultural and historical capacities of Iran to the whole world, researchers' interest in research on Iran, and government support for Iranian studies has led to the formation of "National Iranology" in the contemporary century. Researchers such as Allameh Qazvini and Pourdavod, as the first National Iranologists, took very important steps in promoting the science of Iranology and others like Abbas Iqbal, Mojtaba Minavi, Iraj Afshar, etc. continued their path. The establishment of the Pahlavi Library in the 1340s is a turning point in Iranology. communication and cooperation with Iranology and Oriental Studies Centers, collaboration with Iranologists around the world, creating a special archive and library for Iranology, organizing World Congresses of Iranology, follow up on information and publications of world centers related to Iranian culture and provide services about Iranian culture and civilization such as: the establishment of new centers of Iranology, teaching Persian language in universities around the world and publishing journals of Iranology were among the most important tasks of Iranology in this library. Library officials sought to determine the general Iranian studies policies of all countries from Tehran. The next stage in the development of Iranology occurred in the 1380s. The establishment of the Iranology Foundation and the entry of Iranology into universities led to the further development and expansion of National Iranology.

The constitutional movement was one of the most decisive events in the history of Iran. One of the consequences of constitutionalism was the formation of associations that worked in various ways to support or criticize the constitution. "Anjoman-e Eslamiyeh" of Tabriz was one of these organizations, which in 1326 A.H., with the efforts of a group of Tabriz clerics, including Mir Hashem-e Davachi, was established in the vicinity of the gate of Sorkhab and the alley of Davachi/Shotorban. After the parliament was bombed by the king (Muhammad Ali Shah) the association became a supporter of the government. Despite the importance of the subject, so far no independent article has been written about the Anjoman-e Eslamiyeh, and the present article seeks to fill a part of the existing scientific gap. In addition, by criticizing the dominant view of Iran's constitutional history, the article has tried to adopt a new approach to constitutional critic associations, especially Anjoman-e Eslamiyeh, which is based on the review of sources.The establishment, continuity and fall of Anjoman-e Eslamiyeh raises the question of how and with what motivation the association was formed and what role did it play in the developments of Tabriz in the midst of the transition period? in this article, an attempt has been made to answer the above question with a descriptive-analytical approach and using the qualitative research method. The hypothesis of the current research is that Anjoman-e Eslamiyeh, which was formed from the religious, political, social and economic motives of the "Founders of Eslamiyeh", at the beginning of the so called "Estebdad-e Saghir" period, became a center of support for the government of MuhammadAli shah in Tabriz, but the conflict of opinions of the founders of Eslamiyeh along with the resistance of the people of Tabriz and their suspicion of the government forces, paved its way to collapse.AbstractThe constitutional movement was one of the most decisive events in the history of Iran.

One of the scholars who studied Safavid pathology during the Safavid dynasty, while holding the highest religious position in the government, is Mullah Mohammad Baqir Sabzevari, well-known as Mohaqeq Sabzevari. In his book Rozatol-Alnwar Al-abbasi, written at the request of Shah Abbas II, in addition to providing guidelines for ruling the government and principles for statecraft, he tried to describe the harms that the Safavids suffered. This study seeks to answer this question: from the perspective of Sabzevari in the book Rozatol-Alnwar Al-abbasi, what social harms did Safavid suffer from? Therefore, using a descriptive-analytical method and collecting datasets by library searching, the following findings have been reached: Sabzevari's religious pathology of Safaviya, according to the type of damage mentioned by him, is classified in five fields: pathology of religion, religious knowledge, religious society, religiosity and religious institutions. Sabzevari has been working as a social reformer to improve the livelihood and resurrection of the people, the reformist idea in Rozatol-Alnwar Al-abbasi is based on the practical wisdom of Islam and It shows a justice-oriented and compassionate approach to the general public. Rozatol-Alnwar Al-abbasi should also be mentioned as a text in order to formulate and realize the model of faithful politics, which, based on Islamic beliefs, judgments and ethics, offers a method of ordering good and forbiding bad, at a time when social reform is possible only through accompanying kings. In this book, he has stated his meaning in many cases with ironic expression, and in some cases, he has directly described the harms Sabzevari considers three factors to be involved in order to fix the mentioned damages and preserve and survive the government, which arise from the specific foundations of his political thought: 1- Inner factor: improving the ruler's inner (spiritual) relationship with God 2- External factor: improving the relationship of the ruler with the people and Statesmen in observing the principles of statecraft 3- External and internal factors: justice and peace with the people and fight against oppression and oppressors.

Despite their differences, right and left thinkers in the decades preceding the Iranian revolution had a relatively similar understanding of the place of Iran and Islam in the world. This understanding was about both the difference between perception in the East and West and dealt with the particularity of the Iranian Muslim, and considered the Iranian-Islamic experience extending to different parts of the world. This picture of Iran and Islam in the works of conservative and revolutionary thinkers, such as A. Zarrinkoub, A. Fardid, M. Motahhari, Al. Shariati, D. Schayegan, and H. Nasr is studied in the present essay. The central signifier in these narratives about Islam and Iran in response to the question of "we" and "others" is the East-West binary. In other words, Iranian Muslims had to know what their relationship with others (Arab Muslims an Non-Muslim Europeans) is. According to the prevailing narrative of the separation of Iranians from an originally Aryan (or European) identity, Iranians were separated from their identity once at the time of the Arab conquest, and another time in the retardation from the progressive world. Many of these authors tried to solve this problem by several strategies: To resolve the question of the relation between Islam and Iran, they tried to answer this question by constructing a narrative of progress in Islamic tradition. They also emphasized that the conditions of understanding in the East and West are entirely different, and thus showed themselves up as the leaders of progressive method of esoteric and non-argumentative understanding that has been troubled throughout history and has caused the retardation of Muslim and Iranians from their cultural legacy. In this essay, after describing the intellectual atmosphere of Iran in the Pahlavi period, I highlight the common intellectual elements in the work of the above authors. In the end, by reference to a critical perspective and by recourse to postcolonial theory, I will show how this discourse is a non-native construct, based on European hegemonic assumptions.

Aghlabids(184-296 AH) was the first semi-independent government during the Abbasid caliphate in the Islamic Maghreb that with conquering parts of North Africa and southern Italy, especially Sicily and Palermo was able to Mint coins independently in your sphere of influence.

From this perspective, the present research is based on the analysis of the travelogues of the European travelers of the Qajar era, who have described and sometimes analyzed dervishes in their reports. It’s obviously clear that issues such as:Sufi dynasties considering Dervishes as a class, Sufism lineages, and Dervishes' behavior and worldview are often associated with ignorance of Sufism, prejudice, superficial, and incognito. The approach of this research shows the four components of "Oral Dervish Literature", "Beliefs", "Beggary and Unemployment", "External journey", "Spells and Magic". "Using intoxicants and hypnotic substances" are more prominent in western travelogues. A few of these travel writers, including Polak, Browne, and Gobineau, have an Orientalist approach in its research-following sense towards Sufism and have combined it with their observations; Among other things, they have presented reports about the Sufi dynasties of the Qajar era, especially Ahl al-Haq, the origin of Sufism, and Iranian Enlightenment thought. Apart from this, in other travelogues, the spirit of Sufism is often not mentioned. In most of these travelogues, Sufism and mysticism have been relegated to the school of laziness and unrestrainedness, and wandering dervishes and storytellers have been portrayed as addicted to weed and marijuana. The results of the description and analysis of the aforementioned travelogues show that the reports of these travelers about Sufism in the Qajar era has only been narrated in the form of "affected dervishism", along with "generalization", "defects", "strangeness" and " Magnification".

Synesthesia (sensualism) is a kind of deviation from the norm of meaning, which by breaking the normal system of words and creating a concept contrary to the habit, creates literary pleasure in the audience. In this way of writing, the poet shatters the common mental system of the reader or listener by breaking the superficial structure of the words and not their deep structure and creates a new and pristine image to surprise the audience. In this essay, the authors, inspired by the analytical linguistics school of Lakoff and Johnson, have examined the prevalence of descriptive, analytical, and sensuous in Hafez's poems. The following article shows that the feeling in Hafez's poems, in addition to its different types of feeling; It implies different and different semantic concepts. One of the interesting methods in Hafez's poems is the emphasis on a special type of senses in sensing and transferring meaning from the source area to different areas of semantic purposes. By choosing this type of sensation, Hafez has increased the rhetorical and artistic texture of the speech, and in order to enhance the dignity and rank of tangible things and connect the mental and objective worlds, he has paid special attention to objective-abstract sensation.

Kuh-e Rahmat is the name of a mountain located in the eastern part of Marvdasht city. Numerous ancient monuments can be seen in this mountain, the most important of which is undoubtedly Persepolis or the Achaemenid city of Pārsa. The mountain also includes extensive evidence of ancient burials. Furthermore, Sassanian epigraphical evidence, such as the inscriptions of Maqṣūd Ābād and Taxt-e Ṭawus, have been spotted in Kuh-e Rahmat. A newly found Middle Persian inscription that can be considered a burial inscription will be introduced and discussed in the present article. The most critical issue in this inscription is the attestation of the city Istakhr. Such an attestation in the context of burial inscriptions is unique.It is generally assumed that the inscription might belong to the late Sassanian era. Such burial inscriptions could belong to one of the significant social classes at that time, i.e., the scribes. The exact location of the newly inscribed inscription of Kuh-e-Mehr is the same valley in which Taxt-e Ṭawus inscriptions are located: on the right side of the road between Naqsh-e-Rajab and the city of Istakhr. Kuh-e Rahmat inscription is written in six lines vertically. Its dimensions is 50 cm in 60 cm. There are two square holes below the inscription in the mouth of a small cave. Some researchers consider these holes, which are very frequent in this region, as Astodān. Such square holes can be seen in large numbers on the mountain slopes near Naqsh-e Rajab and the newly discovered inscription. These holes could indicate that the Kuh-e Rahmet inscription is a burial inscription. The surrounding area could be a burial place as well.All the material presented in this speech indicates the great importance of this inscription, which necessitates further research on this inscription.The environment around this inscription should also be further studied by archaeologists.

Dualism idea is one of the most important ideas in Zoroastrianism that has put in the centrality of cosmology in this religion. This idea has attempted to describe and divide the World into two origins namely good and evil that contrast with each other. Dualism is an idea that has anticipated to be presented in all levels and structures of this religion like system of morality. In this paper, we have attempted to survey the influence of this idea on the system of morality in Zoroastrianism by adopting two approaches: Text-based approach and logical approach. In Text- based approach, we have regarded to survey of similarities and coexistences in the Text, between Dualism and concepts of morality. By adopting of this approach, we can perceive this idea has left its dichotomy among the concepts of morality in different ways and has oriented toward itself. Because a discussion about the lack of relation between descriptive and morality propositions always challenges the relationship between moral principles and cosmology of a religion، this topic has been regarded as a second approach in order to survey the issue in this paper. In this approach, we have considered the logical relation between the concepts of morality and Dualism as an idea that attempts to describe the World in a special method. In one hand, if we consider the influence as a deduction of cosmology propositions and in the other hand, the logical relation has not been existed between (ought and is), on the basis of this, any kind of relation and assumption of the influence between cosmology of Dualism and morality on the behalf of authors of these Texts and Founders has considered, it has been on the basis of logical fault and sophistry (is and ought). Although with comprehensive look on the historical process of Zoroastrian ethics، we can find out the deep influence of dualism on morality principles in Pahlavi literature unto Old Avesta that has been reduced and we can see a kind of movement toward the severing of the ethics from cosmology principles.

Bandesh (consisting of two parts, bun meaning beginning and beginning, and dahišn, equivalent to the word dahesh in Persian, means creation, and in general it means beginning creation) is one of the surviving books in the middle Persian Zoroastrian language, the contents of which are only related to the issue. Creation is not limited, and much of it is about the end of the world. In this book, a long section is devoted to plants, which is probably based on studies of the Sassanid period. In this article, plants are divided into sixteen sections, and this section is based on the uses that reach them to humans. Of course, we see in the text of the seventeen divisions that the firewood case includes the wood of all plants. In the study section, the names of vegetables and fruits are classified into several groups: some are called tar, some are called oil, some are called colored, and some are called fragrant. It also divides plants into two parts, which include two parts and one part. These are: fruits that may be eaten inside and outside, those that may be eaten outside, may be eaten inside; Those who may eat the inside, may eat the outside. The identification of some of these names is ambiguous and different researchers do not agree on reading them. In order to understand the correct and incorrect reading of these words, all the manuscripts left by him should be examined and the reason for using that particular word should be considered in order to provide a correct translation of it. In the present article, an attempt has been made to review and revise some of these words by comparing them with different manuscripts and comparing them with some other texts that contain botanical information, especially Persian pharmaceutical and scientific books, and to offer new suggestions for reading these words.

The purpose of this article is to examine Iranian Culture in the travelogue Droville, a military adviser to FatAli Shāh. In the present study, the first reports of the French author are classified into three levels: "Positive Paradigms", "Negative Paradigms" and "Neutral Paradigms". Then below each class, has been analyzed the images presented on the basis of the components of homogeneity, contradiction, generalization, holism and magnification, which are the characteristics of the "imagology approach". Imagology, which is one of the approaches of comparative literature, has an interdisciplinary nature and is therefore linked to cultural studies. The application of this approach in reading travelogues is important in that it can be viewed in terms of "native" culture from the perspective of "other". So there are two main questions in this article: what aspects of Iranian Culture in the Qājār era have been the focus of a French military adviser? How are these cultural images reflected in the above travelogue? This study has been done with a descriptive-analytical method based on imagology approach in comparative literature. The findings of the study indicate that cultural elements were not reflected in the original form in this travelogue. In fact, these images are the transformed form of the author's early data, which has gone through the channel of different ideologies. The cultural imagology of Drouville is sometimes influenced by Western-European ideas and Intertextual relations and often derived from the class cultural geography of the Qājār era society that he interacted with them.Keywords: Imagology, Travelogue, Droville, Iranian Culture, Qājār eraImagology of Qājār era Iranian Culture in travelogue DrovilleThe purpose of this article is to examine Iranian Culture in the travelogue Droville, a military adviser to Fath-Ali Shāh.

The nature of the broader geopolitical relationship between the Arsacids with Sarmatians and the Dacian kingdom, in the north and northwestern region of the Black Sea area, in the late first and early second century CE, is a subject that has been mentioned in very few sources regarding the history of the Arsacids. After prolonged conflicts between the Arsacid and Roman empires, the Arsacids eventually could practically rule Armenia in the second half of the first century CE. In the first century CE, Sarmatians made a decisive appearance in the kingdoms north of the Black Sea. At the same time, in the late first century CE, the Dacian kingdom became an influential power in the northwest Black Sea region, troubling the Roman empire on its borders. In the Roman-Dacian wars, the Sarmatians were in alliance with the Dacians. On the other hand, the Dacian king probably was in a friendly relationship with the Arsacids. It appears that these three powers -Arsacids, Sarmatians, and Dacians- were interconnected in their progress toward the west. This research aims to answer the following question: How could the Arsacid Empire manage to establish friendly relations with the peoples of the Caspian-Pontic steppes and Dacian kingdom beyond the Black Sea? In an attempt to answer this question, the demographic composition of the northern half of the Black Sea, along with the regional power structures present, will be considered. The historical context between the Arsacids, Sarmatians, and the Dacians, along with their mutual allies in the first and early second century CE, will be considered. To Conclude, controlling Armenia by the Arsacids from mid-first century CE, for almost five decades, and also a significant influx of the Sarmatians, who had kinship and commercial communication with the Arsacids, into the states of the northern half of the Black Sea, simultaneously in this period, caused the formation of an alliance between the Arsacids and Dacians via Sarmatians.

In the first section of the Mahābād’s letter which has been located at the beginning of Dasātīr, a blueprint of world is presented which is influenced by Peripatetic doctrines. On the basis of this plan, first intellect which is named Behnām in Dasātīr is emanated from God. Second intellect which is named Amshām is emanated from first intellect, as well as body and soul of paramount sphere byname Mānistār and Tānistār are emanated from first intellect. After this, third intellect as well as body and soul of the sphere which is located under paramount sphere, are emanated from second intellect and this series is continued in the same way and finally ends to moon sphere. From the last intellect which is emanated from the intellect which emanated him together moon sphere, does not emanate neither any intellect nor any sphere. This last intellect who is named Farnoosh, flows the under the moon world. Opposite of this Peripatetic plan in which the number of intellects and spheres are determined and Peripatetic philosopher could know it, the number of intellects and spheres are undetermined and uncertain in second section of Mahābād’s letter. We understand from this section that human reasons could not recognize these numbers that is counts of intellects and spheres. On the other hand, there is a limit for human in this case. Moreover, in the second section of Mahābād’s letter, it is emphasized that there are many intelligible creators in world and this proposition is obviously conflict with Peripatetic view. This approach is affected by Illumination school and it is clear that is not according to what has been said in the first section of Mahābād’s letter. Thus, there are two views about system of the world in Dasātīr which could not be true simultaneously. On the basis of the verdict of this paper, Illumination approach is more important in Dasātīr and plays a role in other parts of it
