The manuscript of the futuwwat nama in this second section had been kept in the private collection of Mirza ‘Abd al-‘Azim Khan Qarib-i Garakani (who was a professor of Persian literature at Tehran University under Reza Shah). A microfilm copy is held in the University of Tehran (no. 3154) from which Mihran Afshari recently produced an edited version. Although the author is not mentioned in the text of the futuwwat nama, it is possible to estimate a date of the fourteenth century for its composition, for it includes poetry that has been attributed to Shaykh Awhadi, who died in 1337/8. All other poets and individuals included in the text died before this date. The author must have been inspired by and sympathetic to the Sufi tradition, given the number of leading Sufis and Sufi poets cited in the text. The Sufi persuasion of the text is most clearly evident in the inclusion of a silsila for the bestowal of the Suficloak (khirqa), which contains a number of individuals bearing the name Rifa‘i. Therefore it can be assumed that the author of the text was a member of the Rifa‘i order, which is linked with the Basran Sufi, Ahmad Rifa‘i (1119-83).
