Devotional Poetry in Technical Manuscript Terminology
Among the wide variety of Persian manuscript categories, there is a distinctive genre that includes recipes on materials and technics of manuscript production. And within this genre, we come across distinctly interesting works that adopt charming romantic poetry to record subjects that are rather dull, dry, and unattractive to the general audience! One of such historical sources is a sixteenth century manuscript entitled Rose Garden of Purity (Go…
The Confused Whale of the China Sea
Perhaps the most valuable contribution of Hamzah Fansuri to the elevation of intellectual and spiritual traditions of Islam was his tireless efforts to create a harmonious atmosphere between the stern followers of religious law (shari‘ah) and the Sufi ways of self-purification (ṭariqah).

The volume begins with an attractive sarlowḥ, and concludes with a bea…
Who is the Bearded Man and the Young Boy Standing Next to Him
The SMNA Library is custodian to an interesting manuscript that contains two interesting poetry books bound in a single leather binding. The manuscript is both exciting and – in almost every instance – misleading! Its peculiar features are riddle-like, confusing and alerting at the same time. The volume is incomplete from both ends; the beginning of the first part (Leylī va Majnῡn) is missing, and so is the end of the second part (Khosrow va Shīr…
