-
Persia's famous lyric poet; born at Shiraz, about 1300; died there, 1389. The most complete English edition of his works is that of H. Wilberforce Clarke: "The Divan i Hafiz, Translated" (1891). Hafiz seems to be most characteristic in his many "Ghazels" or odes, whose themes are his own emotions. Sir William Jones was one of the first English translators. Other English translations include: "Selections from Hafiz" (1875), by H. Bicknell; "Persian Poetry for English Readers" (privately printed, 1883), by S. Robinson; "Ghazels from the Divan of Hafiz" (1893), by Justin Huntley McCarthy. There is a complete German translation by V. von Rosenzweig (3 vols., 1856-64).
