Abstract
Numerous books and articles have been written about the mystic and celebrated Iranian poet, Attar, and there is hence an extensive record of Attar-related studies. The proliferation of these studies further demonstrates the necessity of studying and analyzing them in order to have a good grasp of the depth and breadth of conducted studies and their achievements, and to refrain from undertaking repetitive studies. Keeping a record of research heritage of literary figures is one of the necessary undertakings in today's literary research, which aids researchers to be aware of the issues that have or have not been investigated with regard to them. Attar is the focus of the present descriptive-analytic study. Due to the vastness of Attar-related studies, only the record of relevant studies in Persian articles is discussed in this article. The time period covered by the study is 1300 SH to 1395 SH. Six-hundred fifty Persian articles about Attar have been published in specialized literary journals, especially scientific-research ones, during these 95 years. Statistics related to time distribution of these articles and their broad and detailed topics have been presented in several tables, and an analysis of the trend and approaches of Attar-related studies in these 95 years has been carried out.
