Abd al- Rahman Jami (1417-1492), one of the most prolific writers in Persian literature, enjoyed fame and prestige during his lifetime unlike any other Persian poet. The purpose of this research paper is to provide an overview of the life and work of ‘Abd al-Rahman Jami, the so called “the last great classical Persian poet” whose work has been largely neglected or overlooked by scholars in Iran and the West. The era of the Timurids, the dynasty that ruled Transoxiana, Iran¹, and Afghanistan from 1370 to 1506 had a profound cultural and artistic impact on the history of Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and Mughal India in the early modern era. While Timurid fine art such as miniature painting has been extensively studied, the literary production of the era has not been fully explored. Abd al-Rahman Jami (817/1414 898/1492), the most renowned poet of the Timurids, is among those Timurid poets who have not been methodically studied. Jami spent most of his life in Herat, the main centre for artistic ability and aptitude in the fifteenth century; the city where Jami grew up, studied, flourished and produced a variety of prose and poetry. Living in a vortex of political, cultural, and social settings, Jami became the poet laureate of the era.
