خردنامه اسکندری / Khiradnama-yi Iskandari (The Alexandrian Book of Wisdom)

خردنامه اسکندری / Khiradnama-yi Iskandari (The Alexandrian Book of Wisdom)

The seventh and final mathnavi of Jami's Haft Awrang (the Seven Thrones). It is a didactic-philosophical poem that frames the deeds and counsel of Iskandar (Alexander the Great) alongside the wisdom sayings of Greek sages to teach ethics and statecraft. Like the other thrones, it opens with sections of praise and dedicatory supplication before its narrative core.

This container groups the numbered sections (بخش) belonging to the seventh throne — including the well-wishing supplication for Khwaja Ubaydullah Ahrar — and keeps them distinct from the six other independent mathnavis gathered under Haft Awrang.
