Mawhibat-i ‘uẓmá va ‘aṭīyah-i kubrá

This scholarly edition presents two significant treatises on Persian rhetoric and eloquence, *Mawhibat-i ‘uẓmá* and *‘Aṭīyah-i kubrá*, authored by the prominent 18th-century literary critic and linguist, Sirāj al-Dīn ‘Alī Khān Ārzū. Edited by Mahdī Raḥīmʹpūr, the work offers a critical examination of the sciences of *ma‘ānī* (semantics) and *bayān* (exposition) within the context of Persian literary tradition. Ārzū, known for his keen insights into the "Indian Style" (Sabk-i Hindī), provides detailed analyses of rhetorical devices, figures of speech, and the subtleties of poetic expression. This publication, released by Duktur Maḥmūd Afshār in collaboration with Sukhan, serves as a vital resource for researchers of classical Persian literature and stylistic studies, shedding light on the theoretical underpinnings of literary aesthetics in the late Mughal and early modern periods of Īrān and India.
