Būstān-i Saʻdī Persian 2026

The Bustan of Saadi is one of the major works of classical Persian poetry and among the most important writings of Saadi of Shiraz, composed in the thirteenth century. Written in the form of didactic poetry and moral tales, the work explores themes such as ethics, justice, generosity, love, humility, education, contentment, and the art of living well.

This edition is based on the critical text and introduction by Mohammad Ali Foroughi and is artistically presented with calligraphy by Mohammad Mehdi Mansouri, a member of the Iranian Calligraphers Association, and illumination by Master Reza Zarifan. The combination of Saadi’s classical text with traditional Persian calligraphy and illumination gives this edition particular appeal to readers interested in both literature and the art of the book.
