【Summary】
The Sindbād-nāma, traditionally attributed to the wisdom of Persian sages, is among the oldest, most celebrated, and most elegant Persian works on the art of governance and the conduct of rulers toward their subjects. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī Ẓahīrī Samarqandī transformed an earlier, simpler version of the narrative into an ornate prose composition, enriching it with Qurʾanic verses, prophetic traditions, rhetorical devices, and Persian and Arabic poetry and proverbs. The result is a classic mirror-for-princes text that combines moral instruction with literary sophistication.
