The integration of Didactic and Mystical Literature in Ein al-Ghozat al-Hamedani's Tamhidat

Ein al-Ghozat al-Hamedeani، (fifth and sixth century) a Persian Mystic، committed his forceful penmanship and dynamic thought to writing philosophical and mystical works. Although Hamedani’s recklessness in communicating his peculiar philosophical views and style eventually led to his condemnation and execution، his characteristic writing in the Tamhidat is considered an authentic canonical document in the areas of mysticism and ancient Persian literature. Tamhidat is not only a mystical document، but a code book on the etiquette which delineates the manner in which a master and disciple should organize their intellectual and educational relations. The current article attempts to explore this multifaceted، precious work.
