Treatise of Khazine-ye Ganj-e Elahi

Treatises have important insights about poets and writers. Writing treatises is one of the most common types of literature in the subcontinent. Unfortunately, many of these treatises are still in the form of manuscript and may be destroyed. One of these treatises is Khazine-ye Ganj-e Elahi (the Treasury of Divine Treasure) written by Mir Emad al-Din Mahmoud Elahi Asadabadi, one of the poets of the 11th century, which has been found in various sources, sometimes in Elahi Hamedani’s and sometimes in Elahi Sa’dabadi’s, and the present article introduces his work.
