New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [x], 144 p. Forty poems from the Divan. Translated with introductions and notes by Peter Lamborn Wilson & Gholam Reza Aavani. Edited by Seyyed Hossein Nasr (Series on Ismaili Thought)."The Diwan, or Divan, is a collection of poems written and compiled by Nasir Khusraw (1004-1088 AD). Khusraw composed most of his poems in the Valley of Yumgan, a remote mountainous region in Badakhshan (in present-day Afghanistan). The Divan contains around 11,000 verses of Khusraw's own poetry, reflecting philosophical, religious, and personal themes. The majority of poems contained in the Diwan are odes composed in the traditional Persian qasida (a structured form of poetry with an elaborate metre). The qasida consists of a single rhyme carried throughout the entirety of the poem. In terms of rhythm, each line (bayt) of the qasida consists of two equal parts. The Divan also contains quatrains and shorter poems (as qasidas can be relatively long). Khusraw, in his Divan, employs sophisticated rhetorical and poetic devices characteristic of Persian poetry...". (Source: Wikipedia).

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original cloth bdg. with traditional embossings. Foolscap 8vo. (17 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. First Ottoman Edition. 7 volumes full set in one volumes: (112 p.; 112 p.; 111 p.; 111 p.; 111 p.; 111 p., 111 p.). Hejra: 1289 = Gregorian: 1872. Özege: 20613. Haft Paykar "The Seven Beauties" (1197) (also called Bahram-Nama). A pre-Islamic story of Persian origin, it was dedicated to the ruler of Maragha, 'Ala' Al-Din korp Arslan. It is the story of Bahram V, the Sassanid king, who is born to Yazdegerd after twenty years of childlessness and supplication to Ahura Mazda for a child. The Haft Paykar is a romanticized biography of the Sasanian Persian empire ruler Bahram Gur. His adventurous life had already been treated by Ferdowsi in the Shahnama, to which fact Nezami alludes a number of times. In general, his method is to omit those episodes that the earlier poet had treated, or to touch on them only very briefly, and to concentrate on new material. The poet starts by giving an account of the birth of Bahram Gur and his upbringing in the court of the Arab King No'man and his fabled palace Khwarnaq. Bahram whose upbringing is entrusted to Nom'man becomes a formidable huntsman. While wandering through the fabled palace, he discovers a locked room which contains a depiction of seven princesses; hence the name Haft Paykar (seven beauties). Each of these princesses is from the seven different climes (traditional Zoroastrian-Islamic division of the Earth) and he falls in love with them. His father Yazdegerd I passes away and Bahram returns to Persia to claim his throne from pretenders. After some episodes he is recognized as King and rescues the Persians from a famine. Once the country is stable, the King searches for the seven princesses and wins them as his brides. His architect is ordered to construct seven domes for each of his new brides. The architect tells him that each of the seven climes is ruled by one of the seven planets (classical planetary system of Zoroastrian-Islamic world) and advises him to assure good fortune by adorning each dome with the color that is associated with each clime and planet. Bahram is skeptical but follows the advice of the architect. The princesses take up residence in the splendid pavilions. On each visit, the king visits the princesses on successive days of the week; on Saturday the Indian princess, who is governed by Saturn and so on. The princesses names are Furak (Nurak), the daughter of the Rajah of India, as beautiful as the moon; Yaghma Naz, the daughter of the Khaqan of the Turks; Naz Pari, the daughter of the king of Khwarazm; Nasrin Nush, the daughter of the king of the Slavs; Azarbin (Azareyon), the daughter of the king of Morocco; Humay, the daughter of the Roman Caesar; and Diroste (wholesome), a beautiful Iranian princess from the House of Kay Ka'us. Each princess relates to the king a story matching the mood of her respective color. These seven beautifully constructed, highly sensuous stories occupy about half of the whole poem. While the king is busy with the seven brides, his evil minister seizes power in the realm. Bahram Gur discovers that the affairs of Persia are in disarray, the treasury is empty and the neighboring rulers are posed to invade. He clears his mind first by going hunting. After returning from hunt, he sees a suspended dog from a tree. The owner of the dog, who was shepherd, tells the story of how his faithful watchdog had betrayed his flock to a she-wolf in return for sexual favors. He starts investigating the corrupt minister and from the multitude of complaints, he selects seven who tell him the injustice they have suffered. The minister is subsequently put to death and Bahram Gur restores justice and orders the seven pleasure-domes to be converted to fire temples for the pleasure of God. Bahram then goes hunting for the last time but mysteriously disappears. As a pun on words, while trying to hunt the wild ass (gûr) he instead finds his tomb (gûr

br. Fra la fine del V e l'inizio del VI secolo d.C. l'Impero Sasanide attraversa un periodo particolarmente difficile e denso di cambiamenti. Una serie di calamità naturali e di sconfitte militari gettano l'Iran in una profonda crisi; tutto ciò è accompagnato da rivolgimenti e profonde trasformazioni sociali, In questo periodo si colloca il regno di Kawad e la comparsa di Mazdak che propugnava la comunione dei beni e delle donne. Personaggio scomodo per la storiografia contemporanea e posteriore, Mazdak e il movimento mazdakita sono stati ampiamente studiati oltre che nel mondo accademico occidentale, anche in Unione Sovietica.
br. La rara coincidenza dello "spazio geografico / politico" con quello "linguistico / etnico" porta negli studi iranici alla necessità di definire il concetto di Iran esterno ed Iran interno. Lo studio del cosiddetto Iran esterno richiede una riflessione preliminare sull'elemento iranico nelle regioni della Russia meridionale, Ucraina meridionale e del Caucaso. Definiamo l'iranicità di queste regioni "iranicità settentrionale". Questa designazione non è dettata da motivazioni linguistiche: le lingue iraniche si suddividono, sulla base della situazione medio-iranica, in orientali ed occidentali. Tale distinzione è del tutto soddisfacente e non richiede un'ulteriore suddivisione sulla base di elementi a volte, fra l'altro, di dubbia e controversa interpretazione. Intendiamo sottolineare, invece, in questo modo la profonda differenza che esiste fra l'iranicità a nord del mar Nero, del Caucaso e del Caspio e quella ben più nota della Persia e della Media nel suo modo di "realizzarsi". L'iranicità settentrionale è sempre stata avvolta in un velo di mistero. Non ha creato imperi con capitali di pietra, non ci ha lasciato niente di scritto. È un mondo sotto molti aspetti enigmatico e sfuggente, ma non per questo privo di fascino e splendore: alcune pagine di Erodoto dedicate agli Sciti sono brillanti al punto di convincere il lettore a rileggerle anche a distanza di tempo; la produzione artistica scitica rinvenuta nei kurgany, il cosiddetto stile animalistico in particolare, ha arricchito le collezioni e le sale dei principali musei mondiali, dall'Érmitaz al Metropolitan. Chi si occupa di Sciti, di Persiani, di Sarmati e di Medi pur lavorando sempre all'interno dell'iranicità si trova ad affrontare problematiche profondamente diverse che richiedono tipi di intervento e competenze molto differenti. Affronteremo il problema dell'iranicità settentrionale secondo tre direttive principali di analisi: l) i luoghi nei quali si è sviluppata; 2) i popoli coinvolti; 3) le lingue parlate. Ognuno di questi temi presenta una bibliografia consistente ed è stato oggetto di studi accurati: data la complessità ed i molti problemi ancora irrisolti è senza dubbio destinato ad essere negli anni a venire oggetto di numerose trattazioni specifiche.
