long-standing, historical exchanges. Cultural ties between Iranians
and Arabs which date back to before Islam have created many
common grounds between Persian and Arabic literatures. This

Arabs and then reviews the impacts of those exchanges on Persian
and Arabic literatures. The author believes that the mostimportant

advent of Islam can be divided into two groups: First, impact of
Persian language and culture on Arabic: After the inauguration of
Abbasid Caliphate and the collapse of Umayyad rule, the way was
paved for Iranian culture and literature to impact on the Islamic
culture. Second, impact of Arabic language and culture on Persian
language: after the downfall of the Sassanid Dynasty by the Arabs,
Arabic language as the language of Islam, drew the attention of

"The author believes that the most important literary exchanges between Persian and Arabic languages after the advent of Islam can be divided into two groups: First, impact of Persian language and culture on Arabic: After the inauguration of Abbasid Caliphate and the collapse of Umayyad rule, the way was paved for Iranian culture and literature to impact on the Islamic culture.
The main reasons for this included: a) Conversion of Iranians to Islam which faced them with new concepts for which there were no equivalent words in Persian; b) Political domination of Arabs over Iranians which made political and social matters closely related to Arabic language; c) Migration of some Arab tribes to Iran and their intercourse with Iranian tribes.
Impact of the Arabic Prose on the Persian Prose Pre-Islamic Iranian literature can be divided into two distinct periods: ancient Persian literature which used the Avestan script and cuneiform, and middle Persian literature which was written in Pahlavi language.
This book which was the sole independent source to eloquence in pre-Islamic Persian literature was unfortunately destroyed in the course of time and apart from its name which has been mentioned in the written works of such Arab writers as Jahiz, no other sign of it has remained.
This encouraged Abolhassan Ali ibn Abdulaziz Jorjani, his contemporary literary expert, to write al-Wisata bain al-Mutnabi wa a/• Kliosoumalt and also Abdulqaher Abdulrahman Aljorjani compiled Dalael al-Iejaz vl"a Asrar al-BalagltaP" In short, Arabic eloquence impressed Persian literature from two aspects: Firstly, through use of Arabic concepts and topics in works of verse and prose, and secondly, through compiling many books on eloquence by Iranian scholars and literary experts."
