Sadrā and Bābā Afzal Kāshāni

Affecting and being affected is a normal and praiseworthy affair among scholars. Every scholar is undoubtedly indebted to his predecessors for the structure and content of his thought. He is also effective on the views of his successors. Sometimes a given text shapes the framework of his work or may even provoke suspicion of copying. The present work compares the following two works: JāvdānNāmeh authored by Bābā Afzal Maraghi Kāshāni in the 17th century (AH)and Exit Al¬'arefin by sadruddin Mohammad shirāzi known as Mullā Sadrā (d: loso Atl).
