Abstract
One of the blessings of the prevalence and narrative of Persian language and literature in the Indian subcontinent, many books have been written in Persian language on various topics by the thinkers and elites of that country. As some professors and writers of the subcontinent have left valuable books and treatises in Persian in rhetoric, poetry and literary criticism. Jami al-Sana'i wa al-Awzan (770-778 AH) is one of these works written by Saif Jam Heravi for Prince "Fath Khan", the son of "Firouz Shah" from the Tughlaq dynasty. Jami al-Sana'i, as a book on rhetoric and merits and demerits of Dari poetry, despite being influenced by some Persian and Arabic rhetorical works such as Hadaiq al-Sahr, Haqat al-Hadaaiq, Miftah al-Uloom and Talchis al-Muftah, has notable novelties that can be examined in its place. became. In addition, the book contains valuable information and points in poetics and literary criticism, and it informs that its author, as he gives precedence to order over prose, considers being a poet a blessing. He differentiates between "poet" and "well-balanced" and "good-natured". He is in favor of the meaningfulness of the poem, but he also suppresses the beauty and beauty of the poem. In following his contemporary poets from the previous masters, he has opinions that deserve to be reread and examined. He does not like to indulge in "permission" in poetry and has indicators for poetry criticism. Also, Jami al-Sana'i is the oldest rhetorical writing in which an effort has been made to introduce the "style" and style of Persian poetry. In this regard, after stating the criteria, Persian poetry styles are divided into nine styles and each one is assigned to a poet who excelled in that style. Finally, according to Seif Heravi, the style of Amir Khosro Dehlavi (725-651 AH), both in prose and poetry, is the best of all styles.
