I'm not sure to what degree the list here belongs in the "Islamic texts" section of mirrors for princes? -- Beland (talk) 18:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
My understanding is that the definition of "mirrors for princes" is a little ambiguous - usually there is a rather Eurocentric focus (particular types of advice for medieval and early-modern kings and princes; it's all somewhat Machiavelli) but on the other hand the label is occasionally applied to texts from other cultures which have a similar intention, including nasîhatnâme. This is worth reading. However, the mirrors-for-princes article has degenerated into an untidy list which suffers from scope creep; and there are several reliable sources which specifically discuss Nasîhatnâme so it's notable in its own right... bobrayner (talk) 16:31, 9 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
