Ayina-i_Iskandari_(Ahli_Shirazi)
The Ayina-i Iskandari (Alexandrine Mirror) of Ahli Shirazi is a Persian courtly version of the Alexander Romance literature, completed in 1543.[1]
The Ayina-i Iskandari was influenced by earlier Persian compositions about Alexander, including the Iskandarnameh of Nizami Ganjavi and even moreso an earlier text of the same name, the Ayina-i Iskandari of Amir Khusrau composed in the 13th century. It is roughly 2,300 verses in length and was dedicated to Tahmasp I, the mid-16th century Safavid Shah of Iran.[2]
