روضهٔ چهارم / Fourth Garden (Baharestan)

Fourth Garden of the Baharestan

Jami's Baharestan is arranged as eight rowzeh (gardens), each a thematic chapter that strings together short prose anecdotes interwoven with verse. The Fourth Garden (روضهٔ چهارم) is one of these chapters and serves as the immediate container for the prose sections that belong to it, including the anecdote of the Medinan scholar overcome by love for a singing slave-girl. Inserting this garden between the whole Baharestan collection and its individual numbered sections restores the work's native Collection -> Garden -> Section structure, so that each section is reached through its proper chapter rather than hanging directly off the collection.
