Wisdom is like a textile, which consists of fibers called knowledge and sagacity. The duty of sages has been to transform these initial materials into practical products; On the other hand, wisdom is the reflexive of knowledge that we should use to reach upper level of humanity. </p> <p>In this paper an attempt is made to use library based and descriptive research methodology; the results show that Iranian people are considered as rational people history. For example, <em>Ahura Mazda </em> in Zoroastrianism is the symbol of wisdom and he was considered as an honest man who was in favor of truth; he was the source of goodness. </p> <p>On the other hand, Dante’s <em>Divine Comedy </em> has taken a long step in breaking the spell that church had imposed on Dante’s contemporary society; it is also the first step towards the new revival in the dark history of the middle ages. It is the beginning of the golden age of the Renaissance; it is also the beginning of rationality and humanism in the golden age of the European history. </p> <p> <strong>Keywords </strong> <strong>: </strong> Wisdom, <em>Divine Comedy </em>, <em>Ardaviraf </em> </p>}, number={4}
