One of the Exquisite Manifestations in the compounding of literary and artistic sciences is the synthesis between the Study of Para-Textual branch of Art and Literature. The explicit schema that derives from combining Art and Literary sciences is that the sciences mentioned, Para-Textually, have similar semantic layers that can be analyzed in a convergent way by analyzing Semiotic Methodology. In this article, based on the Para-Textual and semantic roots of Persian Sufism literature and Persian Miniature, the "Dancing Dervishes" Miniature by Kamal al-Din Behzad has been analyzed with looking at Jami's Epistemological Ideas. Since the language of Persian Sufism Literature and Miniature is symbolic, this paper aims to decode symbols to examine the History of Persian Sufism and a review of Behzad's Miniatures and his thoughts based on the Jami's Epistemological Ideas in order to analyze Sufi rituals in Ancient Iran.
