Šādīābādī and his description on Dīvān-e Anvarī

Anvarī, as one of the three messengers of the Persion poetry, has always caught the interest of commentators and people interested in poetry. Mohammad Ibn Dāvūd-e cAlavī-ye Šādīābādī, who lived in Malveh (Mando) in the second half of the 9th c. A. H. and the first half of the 10th c.A. H., was the first person to write a description on Dīvān-e Anvarī. In his work, he has described over 600 couplets of Dīvān-e Anvarī, sometimes employing Indian equivalents for Persian words. This article describes the name and ancestors and works of Shaddi Abbaddi, the distinguishing features of his description of the Dīvān-e Anvarī as well as certain remarks and probable criticism.
