Summary of Contents: دیوان طرزی A collection of erotic odes by a poet whose pen-name (takhallus) is Tarzí and
whom I am unable to identify. It begins: ای دل بشاد و از غم هجران باضطراب چون قطب ساکنیده فلكسان باضطراب The work, though contemptible in every other respect, derives some lexico-
graphical interest from the author's habit of coining verbs unknown to the
dictionaries by adding the termination یدن- to Arabic and Persian nouns, adjectives,
and participles. Besides ساکنیدن (in the verse cited above), we find such monstrosities .etc., etc ,آزادیدن ،آبادیدن، مجنونیدن ،طلوعیدن، تغافلیدن، تحصیلیدن as From the words in the colophonدیوان مختصر مرحوم طرزی افشار را در دار الخلافه طهران تحریر (?)..it would appear that the author was an Afshár Turk, and probably he
belongs to the 19th century.Transcribed at Tihrán in Şafar, 1284.Physical Description
