Abstract

The Persian poem has spent a long way and has encountered a lot of downs and ups. During sometimes has enjoyed excellent brightness while in other periods has lost its situation under certain factors. Many opportunities, striated circumstances, and sources can be mentioned as mental and conceptual origin of Persian poem. One of these sources and origins is related to the etymology of monastery (khanaqah), pothouse (kharabat), calender, mazget, and synagogue. What places do the mentioned names originally refer to? What are their real meanings? When was the monastery constituted? And when did the monastery mingle the pothouse with gnosticism? When did the calender lose the real meaning and acquire the meaning of a character? Is it possible to find a common interface for poets that in the realm of these words have created the intact concepts?
