    This is Volume I of thirteen in a collection on Persia. Originally published in 1880, this is a translation of The Gulistan or Rose-Garden of Shekh Muslihu'D-Din Sadi Shiraz. The Gulistan of Sadi has attained a popularity in the East which, perhaps, has never been reached by any European work in this Western world. Written in the first half of the thirteen century, in Sadi's code of morals, mercy and charity are not restricted to true believers.
