Book Synopsis Counsel for Kings: Wisdom and Politics in Tenth-Century Iran by : Louise Marlow
Book excerpt: This book studies the Counsel for Kings as an illuminating commentary on the milieu and polity in which it was written and as a composition that seeks to persuade by drawing allusions between the diverse repertoire of wisdom literature available to the author and his audience and the circumstances of the author's time and place.
