Kaykavus, Unsur Al-Maali

0.01 sec.

Born 1021; died 1098. Persian writer; major feudal lord.

Kaykavus wrote the first known prose work in Farsi, the Qabus-namah, which comprises 44 chapters of precepts that pertain to proper conduct in various life situations. The ethic preached by Kaykavus was essentially opportunistic, but, in general, the Qabus-namah, written in a direct and lively manner, remains an outstanding example of classical Persian and Tadzhik prose.
