This final voluime of 'The heritage of Sufism' celebrates the mystical culture and intellectual life of sixteenth - to eighteenth- century Iran and India, an age characterised by a flowering of Persianate culture and which marked the peak of Muslim political power in the region. In this meticulously researched and erudite collection of essays, twenty-four internationally renowned scholars explore the religious, political, philosophical, mystical, artistic,literary and historical dimensions of the period, embracing such topics as: * Western orientalism and Persian Sufi literature * Mystical diagrams, meditation practices and symbolism * Conflicts and polemics between Mullas and mystics *Illuminationism and the school of Ibn Arabi * Historiography and the political background of Sufi Institutions. The result is a comprehensive study that is unique in its chronological breadth, intellectual diversity and historical scope and which demonstrates the central role played by Sufism in Persianite culture in Iran, Central Asia and India. Together with the first two volumes of this classic study- the first ever in any language to give an in-depth account of a millenium of the history of Sufism - this book will inform and fascinate students and all those interested in the place of mysticism in Islamic culture.
