ABSTRACT

This paper examines MS D. 92 of the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library, Madras/Chennai, which contains the works of ‘Iyani, a late fifteenth century Shirazi poet and historian. ‘Iyani had migrated to the Deccan, and wrote in Persian in the Bahmani sultanate (1347–1528), receiving the patronage of both Sultan Mahmud Shah (r. 1482–924) and Habib al-Din Muhibballah, a descendant of the Sufi saint Shah Ni‘matallah Vali of Kirman. The paper investigates ‘Iyani’s works, which comprise qasidas, ghazals, ruba‘iyyat and two mathnavīs, the Jangnama-i Shahrukh and the Fathnama-i Mahmud Shahi. The latter, recording the defeat of a rebellion led by the Abyssinian commander in Gulbarga, Dastur Dinar, sheds new light on the political and factional environment in the final stages of Bahmani rule. ‘Iyani’s works represent a new source for the cultural, literary and political history of the fifteenth century Deccan.

摘要

本文考察了马德拉斯/钦奈政府东方手稿图书馆的 MS D. 92，其中包含 'Iyani，一位 15 世纪晚期设拉子诗人和历史学家的作品。'Iyani 已迁移到德干，并在巴赫马尼苏丹国（1347-1528 年）用波斯语写作，得到苏丹马哈茂德·沙阿（1482-924 年在位）和苏菲派圣人后裔哈比卜·丁·穆希巴拉的赞助卡尔曼的沙阿尼玛特拉瓦利。该论文调查了 'Iyani 的作品，其中包括qasida s、ghazal s、ruba'iyyat和两个mathnavī s，Jangnama-i Shahrukh和Fathnama-i Mahmud Shahi. 后者记录了阿比西尼亚指挥官在古尔巴加 (Dastur Dinar) 领导的叛乱的失败，揭示了巴赫马尼统治最后阶段的政治和派系环境。'Iyani 的作品代表了 15 世纪德干文化、文学和政治历史的新来源。
