Abstract
Modifying ancient works of Persian literature has always been one of the main concerns of the Iranian culture and literature scholars. One of these ancient works of Iranian literature is Tazkereh (biography) "Jaddeh Al-Asheghin." Studying this ancient text states a basic question about one of the unknown characters of mysticism in tenth century AH: “who is indeed Kamal Hussein Al-Khwarazmi mentioned in the text of the biography?” The current study aimed at studying Tazkereh within this framework. Results indicated that Tazkereh (biography), "Jaddeh Al-Asheghin," was written by Iranian Mystic, ‘Sharif Hussein Al-Khwarazmi,’ who was the son of ‘Kamal Hussein Al-Khwarazmi,’ the tenth-century- AH Mystic. This Tazkereh is the only valid document in identifying these two mystical characters. However, it has not been offered in the modified form to mystical scholars and lovers of literary works. The current paper, reports modificaton of the Tezkereh (Jaddeh Al-Asheghin) and introduces these unknown mystics according to the content of the Tazkereh. In addition, it analyses Tazkereh in terms of its historical, literary, and mystical values.
