Summary "Iranian Influence on Moslem Literature, Part I" by M. Inostrantzev is a scholarly work published in the early 20th century. This book examines the intricate connections between Iranian culture and Arabic literature following the Arab conquest of Persia, focusing particularly on how Sasanian traditions were preserved and transformed within Islamic writing. The opening of the book establishes a framework for understanding the Persian historical narrative in conjunction with the rise of Arabic literature, highlighting that much of Iran's cultural history survived through various literary forms and translations despite the upheaval caused by the Arab expansion. It outlines key areas of influence, such as literature produced by Arabic writers that draws upon Iranian sources, as well as the role of the Parsi clergy in conserving and transmitting ancient Persian traditions amidst the socio-political changes of the Islamic period. In this context, Inostrantzev sets the stage for a deeper exploration into specific literary contributions and their ongoing relevance in both Persian and Arabic traditions.
