Niẓām-i vaznī-i shiʻr-i Fārsī

Written by Muḥsin Mahdavī Mazdah, Niẓām-i vaznī-i shiʻr-i Fārsī offers a comprehensive analysis of the prosodic systems governing Persian poetry. The work bridges the gap between traditional 'arūz̤ studies and modern linguistics, proposing that the metrical structure of Persian verse is deeply rooted in musical intuition. By examining the interplay between linguistic rhythm and poetic meter, the author addresses long-standing questions regarding how Persian speakers intuitively understand and generate complex metrical patterns. This volume, published in Tihrān by Farhang-i Nashr-i Naw, also explores the metrics of spoken Persian and compares the system with other metrical traditions, making it a significant contribution to the study of Persian literature and poetics in Īrān.
