Examining ancient fiction texts as a source for reflecting the political, social and cultural conditions of the past ages can, in addition to being a confirmation of other historiography sources, also reveal the thoughts of their creators, as the people of the pen and knowledge of those times. The tale of the mouse and the cat by Sheikh Bahae is one of these fictional texts that includes elements, components, and thoughts that can be directly related to the social and cultural conditions of the time of its creation, that is, the period The reign of Shah-Abbas I, and especially the opinions of its founder, Sheikh Baha'i, were examined. Based on this, the main questions of the upcoming research are what conclusions can be reached from the historical analysis of the above-mentioned story about the place of Sufism in this period, especially in contrast with Sharia, and how the literary text can be used to reflect a specific ideology and discourse. In a period, slow down? Also, what was Sheikh Baha'i's approach regarding the two intellectual spectrums of Sharia and Sufism with regard to his political-religious position? It seems that according to the situation in Iran during the Safavid era and especially during the reign of Shah Abbas I, it is possible to find the definite dominance of the jurisprudence system (symbolized by the cat in the story) over the elements of Sufism (symbolized by the mouse in the story) in this story. He proved the claim with the conversations and evidence provided by the mouse and the cat and also the end of the story. In fact, the early period of Safavid rule can be considered as the dominance of the Sufi system, the period of its continuation, the weakening of this system and the period of its fall with the definitive and final victory of the jurisprudence system and the expulsion of Sufis and Sufis from the sphere of power.

The epic and mythological narratives of the Indo-Iranian peoples have been influenced by each other due to their common origins and long-standing cultural relations. The narrations of Rustam in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh and Ram in Ramayana have many similarities. It can be said that these two characters are born of the long-term cultural relationship between Iran and India. Which of these two books was influenced by the other is hidden from us. We only know that the two characters of Rostam for Iranians and Ram for Indians have a special sanctity and show the magnificence of the epic hero in the mind. This research seeks to investigate the similar and different features of Rostam and Ram's stories with a comparative-analytical method. The similarities and differences between Rostam and Ram in summary are: 1- Birth prediction: Rostam's birth prediction by stars and Simorgh; But the birth of Ram was prophesied by Brahman. 2- Appearance beauty: Ram to have appearance beauty; But Rostam is described as tall and stout. 3- Loyalty to the king: Rostam occasionally shows his displeasure to the king; But Ram adheres to the king's covenant and... . The similar friends and enemies of Rostam and Ram are: 1- Afrasiab and Ravana are similar in that they seek power and have inherent evil. Except that Ravana is a demon. 2- White Devil and Raven are similar because they take hostages and the heroes have to fight with them to free the hostages. 3- Keikavus and Sita deceive the demon. 4- Zavareh and Lakashman are brothers and supporters of the hero. The difference between them is that Lakashman is with Ram in most of the events. 5- Tahmineh and Sita are the hero's wives who separated from the hero and gave birth away from him. The difference is that Sita did not hide the father's name from the her children.

Tazkira al-Awliyâ is one of the first books in Persian language, which mentions the sayings and biographies of ascetics and Sufis in a unified way, and it is also among the first Persian works that have been edited in a scientific and modern way (1905) and this itself is a proof of the value and importance of this eternal letter of Attâr Nishâburi. Undoubtedly, such a great work requires diverse and innovative researches, and a number of editors and researchers have made valuable efforts in this direction; However, this book still has very important points and hidden angles that have not been addressed, and in this article, an effort has been made to point out ten of them in order to make this work as effective as possible: First, a short introduction about the Tazkira al-Awliyâ and the issue of attributing it to Attâr is presented. And then about issues such as "the suspicion of the nil", the omission of an important name in the mention of Abu Hafs Haddâd, the lack of discipleship of Abu al-Qasim Korrakâni under Abu Osmân Maqrebi, about the attribution of a speech to Abu Mohammad Jariri, the identification of one of the declarations of Tazkira by the name of Sa’laba Ansâri, the invalidity of Abu Ali Rudbâri's genealogy, the family relationship of Abu Amr Nojayd and Abu Abd al-Rahman Solami, the relationship between Ibn Xafif and Jonayd Baqdâdi, the relationship between Amr ibn Osmân Makki and Ja’far Xoldi, and the correct date of death of Mohammad ibn Aslam Tusi will be discussed with reference to authentic documents.

The significance of the mega metaphors' metamorphosis in the History of Concepts
(with a focus on the conceptual transformation of the word "homeland")
،The metamorphism of the mega-metaphors functions as a main indication of the historical ruptures. The political and social concepts expose themselves in new configuration and evolve in companion with the historical transformations. Conceptual History or The History of Concepts is one of the new disciplines of History studies which surveys the conceptual evolutions through the time. Conceptual History is a proper framework to observe the articulation of social and cultural concepts through the time. This discipline shows how the concepts transform through the threshold eras (known as "Sattelzeit" in German terminology) and how thay subsequently transfer toward the future within a new conceptual form. Nevertheless, neglect of apparently non-political traits such as allegories, metaphors, myths, etc. could be regarded as one of the biggest deficiencies of this scope. In this paper, which is based on the Conceptual History Project of Reinhart Koselleck, we will observe the role of allegories and metaphors in conceptualization of the words and how they make the words reach to the modern era loaded by a new conceptual connotation. Homeland, as one of the greatest keywords of the modern era, has appropriate the focus point of this research. This word, along with a large number of other words, has been loaded by a new conceptual connotation in the constitutional era of Iran - which must be regarded as one of the main threshold eras of Iran's history-. As we will see, by grafting to the main concepts like woman, mother, home, etc.the word "homeland" breaks out of its lexical mold and evolves into a modern concept. keywords: The history of concepts or the conceptual history, threshold era (Sattelzeit), mega metaphors, constitutional era, homeland

The sixth century is the peak of the use of astronomical terms in Persian poetry and prose.

Since literature is the manifestation and reflection of the realities of human life and their aspirations, it is constantly influenced by history. Therefore, the roots of many literary stories and narratives can be found in historical events and narratives. In this research, we focus on four historical and literary narratives that have a special type of deception as their motif: the historical narrative of Zopyrus during the Achaemenid era, the historical narrative of the battle of Peroz I with the Hephthalites during the Sassanid era, the story of the Crows and the Owls in Kelileh va Demneh and the story of the Christian Torturing King in the first book of Masnavi-ye Ma’navi. In order to provide a comprehensive view, at first, we give a summary of each of these four narratives (descriptive level) and then we explain their commonalities and differences (analytical level). The first narrative is about a Persian man named Zopyrus, who helped Darius the Great to conquer Babylon with a trick. The second narrative tells the story of a man from the companions of Akhshunwar, the ruler of the Hephthalites, who led to the defeat of the Sassanid army by gaining the trust of Peroz I. The third narrative depicts the conflict between two groups of birds, crows and owls, which ends in favor of the first group with the cleverness and cunning of a crow. The fourth narrative is the story of a Jewish king who, with the trick of his minister, causes internal conflict and mass killing of Christians. As can be seen, in all these four narratives, gaining the enemy’s trust by harming oneself is used as a motif, but the method of processing this motif is different in the aforementioned stories. This research, according to its topic and method, is conducted as library research. The findings of this research show that the main plot is the same in these four narratives, but their processing is different. In addition, the historical narrative of Zopyrus can be considered an ancient source for three other narratives; a source that has been neglected until now.

The Reflection of Mythological Motifs in the Story of the Baradaran-e-Talaee in Bakhtiari Culture
Abstract
The story of "Baradaran-e-Talaee" is a well-known tale in Bakhtiari culture that features various mythological motifs, including the ritual of sacrifice for the mother goddess, the comparison of characters with gods, and the mythological function of objects and places such as rings, snow, mountains, and pomegranates. Therefore, understanding this story correctly depends on recognizing these mythological motifs. In this research, these motifs are studied in connection with texts such as Shahnameh, using the documentary method and descriptive analytical approach. The findings and results of the study show that the main myth in this story is the marriage with the Peri and the rituals related to it. Some of these rituals, such as marriage with an aqueduct, are still common in different regions of Iran. Furthermore, the characters in this story are transformed gods, or it can be said that the gods were an archetype for creating them. For example, the character of the Darvish, due to his two Ahura and Ahriman faces, is like the god Vayus. Most of Peri's functions, such as connection with water and spring, sacrifice, the power of transfiguration, and turning the hero into stone, can be seen in the actions of the character of the cave girl. The actions of the story, such as the killing of a young man/darvish at the fountain, are rooted in the ritual of sacrifice to the goddess of water. The transformation of characters into gold is a mythological symbol of immortality, exogamy, and the bold role of the daughter and father in marriage are also rooted in the culture of mythological marriages.
Key words: myth, Bakhtiari culture, "Baradaran-e-Talaee" story, mythological marriage culture, Izad Vayu.

Introduction: Rhetoric is the art of effective communication, tailored to the audience's situation and status. The term "speech" encompasses all verbal and semantic components, including its constituent parts.
Purpose:This research aimed to explore the functions and rhetorical capacities of pronouns within the context of Zahhak's story, specifically in relation to the interaction between verbs and pronouns. The goal is to identify the specific functions and rhetorical capacities employed by Ferdowsi.
Research method:This study utilizes a descriptive-analytical approach and employs rhetorical criticism.
Findings and conclusion: This research explores the rhetorical capacities and functions of pronouns in Ferdowsi's story of Zahhak. It identifies two main areas where the pronoun's rhetorical capacity is developed: the interaction between pronouns and verbs, and the phonetic layer of speech. In the former, pronouns are used as adverbial complements of verbs and in syntactic shifts from nouns to verbs, satisfying both syntactic and semantic needs while inducing desired effects on the audience. In the latter, pronouns affect the formation of a specific phonetic environment in speech. The study concludes that pronouns play a significant role in the rhetorical efficacy of the story, serving various rhetorical and semantic purposes. Another function of pronouns in this story is to demonstrate their role in "binding the predicate" to convey certainty. Pronouns also play a role in various rhetorical processes at the phonetic level of speech. These processes include the "settling" of pronouns and their impact on creating a specific phonetic atmosphere in speech. This serves to convey the intended meaning and concept of the theologian, as well as reflect their discontent and dissatisfaction towards the events described in the verse, or the behavior of the characters that lead to these events. Another group of rhetorical processes of the pronoun in this story has been realized in the phonetic level or layer of speech, both in terms of the process of "pronoun settlement" and in the form of the pronoun's effect on the formation of an especial phonetic environment in speech.

In this research, we focus on the works of the Turkish-descended poet Osman Kamal Effendi, in particular Osman Kamali. He was one of the disciples of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, who was blind and memorized the Quran. Jalal al din Rumi's familiarity with intellectual and narrative sciences, literature, jurisprudence, hadith, Qur'an interpretation and the words of Hazrat Ali (AS) has formed the basis for the formation of the most beautiful poems in praise of Hazrat Ali (AS) in the Persian language, and this effect has caused Othman's poems. Perfectly, they should be written in a soulful way and in the age of the Caliph and the Dagger, they should be shown as a true love for Ali's family (A.S.). The importance of the present research is to introduce a poet who did not hesitate to express his love for Ahl al-Bayt, and the purpose of the research is to investigate the effectiveness of Osman Kamali's poems by Maulana. The research method was library and interview was also used in part of the research. The theoretical framework of the research is discourse analysis based on the opinions of Fairclough (2001). Based on the research findings; Kamali's poetry is influenced by Rumi's poetry in terms of content and meaning. And it can be said that Bahr al-Asheer is also close to Jalal al dinRumi's poetry. Contrary to Rumi's poems, which include personal and impersonal pronouns, the pronouns in Kamali's poems are limited to personal pronouns. Another prominent theme that can be seen in Osman Kamali's poems is the use of hints in his poems. In almost all of his poems, in the style of Rumi, he has used verses and hadiths and even Jalal al din Rumi's poems in the form of hints.Key words: Hazrat Ali (AS), Rumi, Osman Kamali, speech, Fairclough

The travelogues written by Europeans about Iran serve as invaluable research sources in the field of Iranian Studies. They provide insights into aspects of Iranian culture that may have been overlooked or intentionally disregarded by Iranian historians. However, it is important to acknowledge that these works may contain elements of exaggeration subjective opinions inappropriate generalizations and biased political inclinations. This study aims to critically examine the portrayal of Iranian culture in the travelogue Beyond the Caspian Sea authored by Arthur Christensen a Danish orientalist and mythologist. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach rooted in the imagology methodology this article explores the travelogue's depiction of Iranian culture. Imagology a comparative literature approach delves into the representation of the "self" through the eyes of the "other" or vice versa with the ultimate goal of understanding the reasons and mechanisms behind this cultural reflection. As an interdisciplinary approach imagology intersects with cultural studies. The central question driving this research is why certain manifestations of Iranian culture and literature particularly those observed during the author's journey to Iran at the end of the Qajar era assume greater prominence in this travelogue. The findings reveal that Christensen's perspective is Europe-centric shaped by inductive reasoning stereotypes and political biases. By accentuating the negative aspects of certain individual and environmental elements of Iranian culture he attempts to generalize them to the entire Iranian cultural realm. The travelogues written by Europeans about Iran serve as invaluable research sources in the field of Iranian Studies. They provide insights into aspects of Iranian culture that may have been overlooked or intentionally disregarded by Iranian historians. However, it is important to acknowledge that these works may contain elements of exaggeration subjective opinions inappropriate generalizations and biased political inclinations.

Abstract
Sanai's has a special place in both Dari/Persian poetry history and the changes he made in terms of content, especially erfan, wisdom and advice, and according to Sanai scholars, Persian poetry in ghazel and qasida owe it to Sanai to this day. Unfortunately, Hakim Sanai did not receive the attention he deserved in Iran and Afghanistan until the fourteenth century for several reasons, except for the publication of Divan, Masnawi, and Sanai's biography. Some new and serious research on Sanai is conducted in recent decades through independent writings and research and master's and doctoral dissertations, especially in Iran.
Sanai-ology research in Afghanistan is similar in some respects to what has been done in Iran. Ranging from writing general, thematic, and specific articles to editing and publishing his works, to explaining some of Hakim Ghaznawi’s Masnavi such as Sairul-Ebaad to Hadiqah and writing independent books about his life; works, thoughts, circumstances and answering controversial questions among scholars and critics of the works in Iran and the use of research and studies by Iranian scholars; knowledge on these and the findings of Sanai scholars in Afghanistan can provide a broader horizon for Sanai scholars. The culmination of Sanai studies in Afghanistan is the holding of a conference on the 900th anniversary of Sanai, in which valuable research such as the description of Sir al-'Ebbad, the correction of Hadiqah, and the writing of research articles on Sanai and his works have been conducted. In the last two decades, the description of about a thousand verses of Hadiqatul haqiqa done by professor Ab.

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

European's travelogues are important in understanding "another view", in anthropology and cultural-social history studies area. Sufism and Dervishes are one of the prominent topics in European travelogues, especially in the Qajar era. 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.
