It appeared initially in 633/1235 when T?s? was already a celebrated scholar, scientist, politico-religious propagandist. The work has a special significance as being composed by an outstanding figure at a crucial time in the history he was himself helping to shape: some twenty years later T?s? was to cross the greatest psychological watershed in Islamic civilization, playing a leading part in the capture of Baghdad and the extinction of the generally acknowledged CaliphatePersian heritage series.UNESCO collection of representative works.Persian series.Islamic ethicsEarly works to 1800Religious ethicsIslamic ethicsReligious ethics.297297.5TuÌsiÌ NasiÌr al-DiÌn Muhammad ibn Muhammad1201-1274.,1518032Wickens G.
