Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The surviving manuscripts of the past are the precious ethnic, national heritage and cultural identity of nations and can provide extensive information about the behavior, thought, intellectual and linguistic structure of writers and poets of the past and add to current human consciousness. The manuscript of Bostan al-Arifin and Golestan al-Abedin by Zina al-Abedin Shirvani is one of the authors of the ninth century AH in the Timurid era. The book is written in an introduction and three chapters, each of which consists of several chapters.

METHODOLOGY: This research is a documentary, library and descriptive method with the aim of introducing this manuscript and examines the structure and some of its stylistic and content features.

FINDINGS: The study of the manuscript shows that the mentioned work has a mystical and theological content and content and pays more attention to Rumi"s Masnavi, but in terms of structure, division, arrangement and method of arrangement, similarity in naming, as well as combining prose and prose and expression in the form of anecdote. It is similar to Saadi Golestan. Zayn al-"Abidin was aware of the circumstances and sayings of some of the former ascetics, mystics and theologians, and in the heart of the anecdotes he referred to some instructive speeches, aspects of their lives and behavior. The author has added to the literary value of the work by quoting the verses that are his own poems and marking them with the mention of "the author".

CONCLUSION: Bostan al-Arifin and Golestan al-Abedin are formed with measured, pleasant, and melodic expressions. In the first chapter, due to the variety of ten chapters, the types of rhyme and simile, and especially the eloquent simile, have a high frequency, but in the other two chapters, the use of literary industries has slightly diminished.
