Series:
Ibn al-FÄriḠ(d. 632/1235) is arguably the greatest mystical poet in the history of Arabic literature. Born in Cairo and a student of ShÄfiÊ¿Ä« law and ḥadÄ«th in his younger years, he turned to mysticism, living a solitary existence on Cairoâs Muqaá¹á¹am hills, in the desert, and in the Hijaz. After his return to Cairo, people worshipped him as a saint and even today, admirers still visit his tomb in that city. Ê¿Abd al-RaḥmÄn JÄmÄ« (d. 898/1492) is one of Persiaâs great medieval poets. As a young man, he joined the followers of SaÊ¿d al-DÄ«n KÄshgharÄ« (d. 860/1456), leader of the mystical Naqshbandiyya order in Herat. His combined output in poetry (39.000 lines of verse) and prose (over 30 works) is quite overwhelming. Besides a commentary on Ibn al-FÄriá¸âs Khamriyya mÄ«miyya, he also made the first and only Persian translation of his seminal al-TÄʾiyya al-kubrÄ, published here for the very first time.
