Summary note
Adopting an empirical and systematic approach, this interdisciplinary study of medieval Persian Sufi tradition and Attr (1145-1221) opens up a new space of comparison for reading and understanding medieval Persian and European literatures. The book invites us on an intellectual journey that reveals exciting intersections that redefine the hierarchies and terms of comparison.
