  Saadi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saadi or Sadi (سعدی in Persian) (English name: Mushrif-ud-Din Abdullah) (1184 - 1283/1291?) was an Persian poet, a native of Shiraz, Persia.
When he was very young, Saadi left Shiraz for Baghdad to study Arabic literature and Islamic sciences at Nizamiah University (1195-1226).
Andre du Ryer was the first European to present Saadi to the West, by means of a partial French translation of Golistan in 1634.

 Iransaga - Saadi, Classic Persian Poet

Saadi displays great wisdom in all his works with an understanding of the human mind, and many of his lines and sayings have been frequently quoted.
Saadi is said to have died in 1290 and his tomb in Shiraz is a shrine.

 Persian Language & Literature: Saadi Shirazi
Saadi was not only welcomed to the city but was respected highly by the ruler and enumerated among the greats of the province.
In response, Saadi took his nom de plume from the name of the local prince, Sa'd ibn Zangi, and composed some of his most delightful panegyrics as an initial gesture of gratitude in praise of the ruling house and placed them at the beginning of his Bostan.
For Western students the Bostan and Golestan have a special attraction; but Saadi is also remembered as a great panegyrist and lyricist, the author of a number of masterly general odes portraying human experience, and also of particular odes such as the lament on the fall of Baghdad after the Mongol invasion in 1258.
