Nizami and romantic literature: Nizami, or Nizami Ganjavi, was a 12th-century Persian poet and one of the greatest representatives of the Khamseh, or the Quintet, a genre of five epic poems that each deal with a different theme. Nizami’s Khamseh consists of the Makhzan al-Asrar, or the Treasury of Mysteries, the Khosrow and Shirin, the Layla and Majnun, the Haft Paykar, or the Seven Beauties, and the Eskandar-nameh, or the Book of Alexander. Nizami’s poems are famous for their romantic and heroic stories, their rich and vivid descriptions, and their blend of historical, mythical, and mystical elements. Nizami’s poems have inspired many other poets and artists, and have been adapted into various forms of art and media.
