ABSTRACT
In the article, the author mainly
focuses on controversial issues related to the poet's life and work. Among the
moments that cause different interpretations among researchers, the following
stand out:
-
Vazeh - religion – clergy
-
authorship of Vazeh and Bodenstedt
-
songs - humoresques – prose
Based on the historical and ethnographic
book of memoirs of Friedrich Martin, the poet is characterized as a champion of
the dissemination of Eastern wisdom among foreign students. Here are Germans
and Englishmen studying Arabic, Farsi, whom the poet, as a capable teacher,
teaches a special way of thinking. In this matter, his handwritten notebook
"Keys to Wisdom" is of help. The artistic examples presented here
help them to form their own statements. In the author's confrontation regarding
the collection of poems and songs of Mirza Shafi published in Germany, the author
adheres to the opinion of those researchers who clearly prove the far-fetched
nature of the situation.
