About This Book
Kalīla wa-Dimna or Kelileh o Demneh is a collection of interconnected animal fables that combine moral instruction and political lessons with entertainment. The work derives from the ancient Indian Panchatantra, but it became known throughout the Middle East and beyond through a long process of translation, adaptation, and retelling. Traditional accounts describe its creation by the philosopher Bidpai for the Indian king Dabshalim and its later transmission to Sasanian Iran through the physician Burzuya, who is said to have obtained and translated the text.
