Abstract: (8054 Views)
From view of cultural background, Khagani is one of the prominent Persian poets. Because of this and Shahname's importance in cultural-literary enrichment of subsequent works and some other reasons and motivations, Khagani's works (poetical works (divan), Tohfatol-eragayn and epistolary writings monshaat) is full of various Shahname's allusions. Meanwhile, there are some allusions called rare allusions which can be divided into two parts. First, allusions whose story origin is known. Second, allusions whose source is unknown and technically known as wandering allusions. Khagani has used Shahname's allusions for ((wandering allusions)) and various purposes such as: explanation of didactic subject, imagination, making metonymy and proverb, his own description and sometimes self-praise, description in worldly sonnets and finally praise of kings in his elugies, frequency of praised kings similarity to Shahname's characters is more than preference of them to Shahname's characters and probably influence of Iranian culture in Sharvan (Khagani's birthplace) and praised king's interest in Iran and Shahname has affected this respectful attitude.
Most reflections of Shahname's allusions in Khgani's works is in this order: poetical works (divan) epistolary writings (Monshaat) and Tohfatol-eragayn.
