| Summary |
Giovanni Maria Martini investigates the personality of a major figure in the socio-political and cultural landscape of Mongol Iran. In pursuing this objective, the author follows parallel paths: Chapter I provides the most updated reconstruction of Simnani's (d. 736/1336) biography, which, thanks to its unique features, emerges as a cross-section of Iranian Society and as a microhistory of the complex relationships between a Sufi master, Persian Elites and Mongol rulers during the Ilkhanid period; Chapter II contains a study on the phenomenon of Arabic-Persian diglossia in Simnani's written work, arguing for its socio-religious function; in Chapters III to VI the critical editions of two important, interrelated treatises by Simnani are presented; finally, Chapter VII offers the first full-length annotated translation of a long work by Simnani ever to appear in a Western language. |
