A Research in Persian Literature: Continuity of Horse Descriptions in Persian Poetry based on the Role of Sasanian Seals (from Mohsen Foroughi Collection)

In this Article, an Attempt is made to Examine a Number of seals Engraved in the Sassanid Period from the Collection of Mohsen Foroughi, which are Engraved with the Image of a horse, as well as the Descriptions of this Animal left in the Poetry and Prose of post-Islamic Persian Literature to Show the Similarities and Differences between the Pre-Islamic and Post-Islamic Periods, the first of which is Silent and the Second of which Speaks of this Animal, and to Answer the Question of the Extent to which the Engraved Descriptions of this Animal in the myths of the Pre-Islamic era have been in line with the Descriptions Quoted from Post-Islamic Literature or have been Changed. However, Sometimes some of these Engraved seals also had Writing on them, and this is a Clearer Evidence of the Concept of the Role Engraved on the seal in the use of the Animal in Question. The seals of this collection include different periods of the Sassanid era, which is from the middle to the end of this Period, and Perhaps the seals of the late Sassanid era are more Closely related to the Literary texts of the Islamic Period.
