Abstract

Majd Hemgar is one of the poets and renowned speakers of the 7th century AH. and little is studied regarding his literary works in the present time. The dispersion of copies and the lack of an authentic correction of Divan Majd is one of the main reasons for his anonymity. One of the literary works parallel to this historical period is the Great Mongol Shahnameh and in terms of aesthetical values, it is reflected as one of the great literary and artistic works of the 7th century AH. Hence, the comparative study of the mentioned literary works is aesthetically significant. In the present research, Majd Hamgar's sonnets have been evaluated based on layered stylistics in five phonetic, lexical, syntactic, rhetorical and ideological layers and compared with the Great Mongol Shahnameh. The current research is compiled via a descriptive and analytical method by relying on the data of library sources. The stylistic study of different levels of the Majd Hamgar's sonnets shows that the poet deliberated on the phonetic layer and the musical dimensions of the word. Being orderly and discarding obsession, avoiding the use of uncommon and heterogeneous words, concentrating on the single meaning of the verses and relying on romantic themes are among the results of the present research. Results of which the researcher was capable of discovering the existence of incoherent poems in the field of lyric poetry. After the stylistic examination and explanation of the characteristics of Majd's sonnets, it was found that the poems that do not match the general perspective of the format of the sonnets in Majd's court and the doubtful attributions to the poet, were distinguished. On the other hand, it was also concluded that the beauty in Majd Hemgar's sonnets was consistent with the exquisiteness of the great Mongol Shahnameh.

Research aims:
1. Analysis of the layered stylistic analysis of Majd Hemgar's poems.
2. Comparative study of beauty in Majd's poems with thematic and visual beauty in the Great Mongol Shahnameh.

Research questions:
1. Regarding the layered stylistics, what layers can be counted for Majd's poems?
2. How are of Majd's poems and the Great Mongolian Shahnameh compared in terms of aesthetical values?
