Lede

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • A reasonably good summary of the life and poetic works of Mirza Shafi Vazeh. I wonder about the inclusion of Ivan Grigoriev.

Life

[edit]

Birth Date

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • Whereas other sources claim Mirza Shafi was born in 1794 in Ganja, a strong refutation and citation of sources is given in this section. The section concludes (sensibly) with citation by Mirza Shafi's commander-in-chief.

Early Life

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • The Russian conquest of the Caucasus features the fall of Shafi's father to impoverishment and death. Several sources are cited in rounding a conclusion that Mirza Shafi was "a kind, simple man who was Tatar by origin, and Persian by upbringing".

Education

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • It is well known that Shafi made enemies of most of the local clergy. The influence of Haji Abdullah is strong and noted with regard to Shafi's continuing education.

Teaching in Tiflis

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • Multiple sources confirm that Shafi taught oriental languages and calligraphy. Here is the beginnings of a time wherein Shafi's influence on Divans of the future was slowly being transmitted. His time teaching in the Gymnasium is also cited by many sources.
Vazeh and Bodenstedt
[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • Bodenstedt made Shafi famous in Europe
  • Bodenstedt's hoax is also well known.

Death

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • Not many sources cite the date nor the cause of death.
  • The location is often given some name of a garden.
  • Simple, and well scribed, well sourced.

Literary Activity

[edit]
  1. Is it reasonably well written?
  • The most important section of this article
  • Addresses the mystery of poems lost and found
