A.D.) is a Persian rewriting of the timeless and influential Kalila wa-Dimna text, done at the Timurid court. Christine van Ruymbeke offers a first in-depth analysis of the contents and style of this important text and also addresses the Kalila wa- Dimna field across its full rewriting history. This analysis shows how Kashefi's additions function as an invaluable commentary that opens up our understanding and the appreciation of this seminal text. This studies revisits several received ideas and current misapprehensions about the text and shows why it has been such an international best-seller before being unjustly relegated to children's literature. In Van Ruymbeke's words, Kalila wa-Dimna is a grim text, exposing the mechanisms of sophisticated psychological manipulation and exploring universal philosophical themes, known since Antiquity and still relevant today. 588 0 Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Kāshifī, Ḥusayn Vāʻiẓ,|d-1504 or 1505.|tAnvār-i Suhaylī. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no00091145 630 00 Kalīlah wa-Dimnah.|lPersian.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n84160920 630 7 Kalīlah wa-Dimnah.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1358757 630 07 Anvār-i Suhaylī (Kāshifī, Ḥusayn Vāʻiẓ)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1400402 630 07 Kalīlah wa-Dimnah.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1358757 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRuymbeke, C. van (Christine van). |tKashefi's Anvar-e Sohayli.|dLeiden ; Boston : Brill, 2016|z9789004310285|w(DLC) 2016039086 830 0 Studies in Persian cultural history.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2012150477 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1414537|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
