Book Description
Saadi of Shiraz (1210-91) was a major Persian poet and prose writer of the medieval period. Admired for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts, he is recognized as one of the greatest poets of the classical literary tradition, earning him the nickname of 'Master of Speech', or simply 'Master, ' among Persian scholars. His best-known works are Bustan (The Orchard), completed in 1257, and Gulistan (The Rose Garden), completed in 1258. Bustan is written entirely in verse (epic metre) and consists of stories aptly illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims (justice, liberality, modesty, contentment), and reflections on the behaviour of dervishes and their ecstatic practises. This English translation by A Hart Edwards, who also wrote the introduction, was published in 1911 as part of John Murray's The Wisdom of the East series

Book Description
Although Kamal al-Din Bihzad (1460-1535) is acknowledged to be one of the greatest masters of Persian painting, there has to date been no comprehensive study of his life and work. He flourished during the golden age of artistic achievement in the late Teimurid and early Safavid periods, working in Herat and then in Tabriz. This illustrated book traces the roots of the style developed by Bihzad, its heritage and its legacy in Iran, Mughal India and Ottoman Turkey. The author approaches the subject by attempting to relate the paintings to the stories and themes they portray, thus enabling us to appreciate Bihzad's work in a way that has generally been neglected by Western art historians. Bahari has examined Bihzad's paintings in libraries and collections all over the world and this study brings together a huge body of the work.

Book Description
A study of religious thought and practice across a broad social spectrum, but within a well-defined historical context, this book is an interdisciplinary endeavor that incorporates the tools of philology, social-history and historical-anthropology. Focusing on the mosques, public assemblies, cemeteries and shrines of Syrian Muslims in the period of the crusades and the anti-Frankish jihad, the book describes and deciphers religious rites and experiences, liturgical calendars, spiritual leadership, and perceptions of impiety and dissent. Working from a perspective that breaks down the dichotomization of religion into 'official' and 'popular,' it exposes the negotiation, construction and dissemination of hybrid forms of religious life. The result is an intimate and complex presentation of the texture of medieval Islamic piety.
