| Sa'adi
Sa'adi Shirazi who was born (circa 1213) and died
(December 9, 1293) in Shiraz, Iran. His full name was Musharrif od-Din
Muslih od-Din. He later derived his pseudonym from the name of the local
prince, Sa'd ibn Zangi. When Sadi was a child, his father, Mosleh od-Din
died. After completing his education at the Nezamiyeh College, he traveled
through India and Central Asia. On his journey, he was captured by the
Franks and made to labor on their stronghold in Tripoli. When he finally
returned to his village he was an old man. He remained there until his
death.
The first of Sadi's two principle works, The Bustan or The Tree Garden,
published in 1257, is a philosophical and epic poem that expresses Muslim
virtues.
His second work, The Golestan or The Rose Garden, published in 1258,
is a collection of poems and prose that document his travels. The Golestan
was
first translated in 1787 and is very popular among Western readers
of poetry.
Sadi's work is often referred to for its description of the history
of ancient Persia. He is recognized as the first Persian poet to employ
the lyric to illustrate
the principles and the problems of love.
