Fakhruddin As'ad Gurgani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fakhruddin As'ad Gurgani (in Persian: فخرالدين اسعد گرگاني) was an 11th century poet of Persia (Iran). He compiled and wrote Vis u Ramin, a story from the Arsacid (Parthian) period. Contemporary scholar Zarrinkoub however disagrees with this view, and concludes that the story has a Pahlavi (middle-Persian) origin in the 5th century Sassanid era.
