An Exploration through Persian Literature: Tracing the Shape, Fictional Image, and Lexical Variations of Glasse's from 9th to 12th Centuries

Persian literature is a rich resource for investigating not only the customs, traditions, and Persian lifestyle, but also the cultures close to Persia a long time ago. Although the data of such research carry invaluable inherent worth, it is obvious to those who understand Persian literature that a thorough awareness of such issues is inseparable from a thorough and correct understanding of the poetry and prose of a nation. Regarding this requirement, some literary works written in this context have been compiled and since we need references as vast as Persian literary history in order to investigate this issue completely and accurately, these works are invaluable regardless of their shortcomings. To meet the demands of this research, we investigate the glasses according to the oldest evidence obtained, that is, the works produced through the ninth to the twelfth centuries (A. H.). Firstly, we try to reconstruct the structure and materials of the glasses and then briefly describe the way they emerge and reemerge in literature based on the vocabulary, imagery, etc.
