  Rank was an illustrated symbol which was used in many sections of official and military organizations of Mamluks period. An Amir [ ruler ]'s rank-based upon his responsibility-had distinct pattern and color from the other rulers and men of rank. Rank patterns were divided into: animal, plant and instrumental categories in which the last one was more usual than the others and often presented Amir's status. For example, there were inkpot (Davatdar), sword pattern for swordsman, bundle(bughdjih) for wardrobe-holder and ball and stick of polo (cwgan) for polo-stick holder. In this paper, the types of rank are explicated which belong to Mumluks period, moreover, two chief hypotheses are introduced about the origin of rank, symbolizing and marking it in this period. Finally, as appendix, a few pictures are exposed to clarify the subject-matters which were discussed in this paper. These pictures belong to the instruments and means which include their rank of Mumluks period. Manuscript profile

  In the world literature, both Persian and Arabic literature with much in common can have an important role in comparative research. Wisdom or rationalism and in more beautiful words, motto, is one of these common and comparable ways. Emra-Ol-Gheys-Al Kennedy, the pre-eminent of Arab belletrist, is placed on one side of the balance of this analogy, and Rudaki Samarkandi, known as Adam-O-Shshoara, i.e. the originator of Persian poetry, is located on the other side. Emra-Ol- Gheys, has implemented windows of the wisdom in his poems with the help of nature and teachings of the past and life experience of Jaheli epoch; and Rudaki also has come into poetry with the same mentioned concepts, but with a more important treasure in hand, namely Islam which is the source of insight and wisdom.   Manuscript profile

  Bahmannâmeh, by the sage Iranshâh Ibne Abelkheir, is one of the epics of the late fifth century A.H. which concerns about the life of Bahman, Esfandiyar’s son, and his battles with the Rostam’s family. Bahmannâmeh is one of those books which have been composed by imitating Ferdosi’s Shâhnâmeh and we can consider its poet as one of the most successful followers of Ferdosi. One of the prominent features of this book is its moral and motto instructions which are noticed by every reader. Iranshâh Ibne Abelkheir, like the other poets of epic stories, has had a full familiarity with the Islamic and Iranian beliefs and learnings and one can see the reflection of these thoughts, clearly, in the moral and motto instructions of Bahmannâmeh. In this search, we have tried to explore the Islamic and Iranian roots of those instructions, as well as express them. Manuscript profile
