During the Abbasid period, Arabic literature became deeply imbricated with other
Near Eastern languages, including Greek, Syriac, and in particular Persian, resulting
in a number of literary works that demonstrate the joint aspect of this creative
process. Hojjat Rasouli, Professor of Arabic Literature at Shahid Beheshti
University, Tehran, will present some of these works from a comparative Persian-
Arabic perspective, followed by open discussion. The language of conversation will
be in Arabic, and students of all levels are welcome!
