Abstract

The importance of Kamaluddin Ismail Isfahani in the history of Persian quatrains is undeniable. In the literary selections, countless quatrains of him can be found, which show the special attention of writers to the quatrains of Kamal Ismail. The quatrains of Kamal were quoted in Jungs and Tadhkiras and collections of poetry for several consecutive centuries due to their special themes, literary wonders and thematic variety. The author's purpose in writing this article is to introduce an ancient manuscript that contains a Safinah of Persian and Arabic dissertations and poems, in which a number of quatrains of Kamal are inserted. The inclusion of Kamal Ismail Isfahani's quatrains with or without mentioning the name of the poet in the Safinah dated 635 AH, shows that the quatrains of this poet during his lifetime, were welcomed by the literary community of Iran and found their way into poetry selections.
