About Kashan
Kashan, on the edge of the central Iranian desert, was a town noted for its ceramics (whence the term 'kashi' for tilework) and a centre of Shi'i learning. The philosopher and traditionist al-Fayd al-Kashani (d. 1680), a student of Mulla Sadra and major figure of the Safavid intellectual world, took his nisba from the city.
