Biographical notes

Author of the Ṭarīḳat-nāme, a translation of Farīd al-dīn ʿAṭṭār’s Muṣībat-nāmah. This makes Pīr Muḥammed the author of the first mes̱nevī known to have been written during the reign of Murād II. Some scholars have tried to identify him with other authors, but none of these have proven conclusive.

Ṭarīḳat-nāme

ﻃﺮﻳﻘﺖ ﻧﺎﻣﻪ

Notes

A translation of Farīd al-dīn ʿAṭṭār’s Muṣībat-nāmah which is also in mes̱nevī form. It is supposed to consist of approximately 8000 couplets, however its longest extant copy contains only 4930 couplets. While the importance of finding God in one’s own self constitutes the topic of the frame story, the work includes several allegorical stories. The Ṭarīḳat-nāme is the first mes̱nevī known to have been written during the reign of Murād II.
