Descrizione

About The Book: This work offers a glimpse into Persian humor, a clever play on female customs and superstitions. It presents itself as a serious piece, resembling a solemn code of laws, authored by five matron lawgivers aided by two others. The original manuscript, titled "Kitabi Kulsum Naneh," revolves around the rules and maxims of the principal lady-judge, Kulsum Naneh, focusing on the domestic rights and customs of Persian women. This work, often underestimated by oriental scholars, reveals the whimsical aspects of Persian domestic life, challenging stereotypes about Eastern women. It offers valuable insights into Persian society's moral dynamics and human nature's multifaceted nature. Despite its playful tone, it is a worthwhile exploration of genuine Persian life, dispelling misconceptions about women's roles in the East.
