Majma-ol Bahrain: Unknown Religious, Historical Epic of 913 Century A.H

The Majma-ol Bahrain manuscript, kept by number 2655 at the Islamic Consultative Assembly Library, is one of the religious, historic epics in Farsi language that was written in poetry in 913 century A.H. and was dedicated to Shah Esmael Safavi, founder of the Safavid Dynasty. This is an epic tale of Prophet Muhammed and Imam Ali’s life; there is no edited print version of it. Almost none of the histories of literature have referred to its title or the name of its writer; it is left totally unknown. This article attempts to indicate that Majma-ol Bahrain -- in terms of epic features, and ¿rm literary language -- is worth of religious, historical researchers’ attention.
