Abstract

Qavamoddin Mottarrazi Ganjavi composed an artificial elegy in Persian language in prais of Qezel Arsalan which contains many rhetorical figuers. The autheor believes that this literary work must be the first persian rhetoric that has been known. But Aqa Bozorg Tehrani, and Ibn Josef Shirazi and other biographers have introduced Zolfaqr Shirvani as first rhetoric composer in Persian language. This article is about this subject.
