Akhlāgh-e Asāsi (Basic Morals)

This book is a translation of the Arabic Kalīla wa Dimna along with other Persian resources. The source for the Arabic translation was a lost translation into Pahlavi (an ancient Iranian language) of Panchatantra as well as parts of Mahabharata and other unknown resources by Borzouye, an Iranian physician. Akhlāgh-e Asāsi was intended for younger readers. The translator changed many Arabic expressions to Persian and provided synonyms and definitions for difficult vocabulary to produce an easier text to read.
