The basis of the study is \u003ci\u003eSalāmān va Absāl\u003c\/i\u003e, a Persian allegorical romance 'Abd al-Raḥmān Jāmī (d. 898\/1492), the great Timurid belletrist and Naqshbandi Sufi, dedicated to Ya'qūb. Lingwood demonstrates that \u003ci\u003eSalāmān va Absāl\u003c\/i\u003e, which modern critics have dismissed as 'crude' and 'grotesque, ' is a sophisticated work of political and mystical advice for a Muslim ruler. In the process, he challenges received wisdom concerning Jāmī, the Āq Qoyūnlū, and Perso-Islamic advice literature. Significantly, the study illustrates the extent to which Jāmī's compositions integrated the Timurid and Āq Qoyūnlū realms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890795659415,"sku":"9789004254046","price":17456.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004254046.webp?v=1781181366","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/politics-poetry-and-sufism-in-medieval-iran-new-perspectives-on-j-257-m-299-s-sal-257-m-257-n-va-abs-257-l-9789004254046","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
