Abstract

The Unique manuscript by Ibne Abolhassan Al-Vaez Al-Adib Kashan Called Jame Alghasas that was produced in 1077 (AD) in its Persian form is not truly known. The present work is the continuation of works done before on books like Taj Al-ghasa, Ghasa Al-Anbia, And Al-Settin and draws upon such works as needed. Ibne Abolhassan Al-Vaez Al-Adib Kashani belonged to an average educated social class involved in teaching and learning. He was not mentioned in the works of the scholars of his century but he produced this invaluable work about 400 years ago in the same vein as his contemporaries. His writing style incluses the narration of the prophets stories using the verses of the Holy Quran and their translations as well as a few lines of poetry of other literary pieces like quadrines or proverbs (including 648 lines of poetry in this work). The paper aims to introduce an unknown author through a reexamination of his work in the light of similar works.
