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

The seventh masnavi of Jami's Haft Awrang, an ethico-philosophical didactic poem in the Iskandarnama tradition. It gathers the counsels and wisdom associated with Alexander (Iskandar) together with sayings attributed to the Greek sages, opening with the customary sections of divine unity (tawhid), praise of the Prophet, and the mi'raj-of-discourse (پایه معراج سخن). This is the book-level literary container that groups the individual numbered sections (بخش) of the poem, such as the Section 4 passage that raises the pedestal of the ascension of discourse.
