of Bengali Muslim authors for his sympathetic portrayal of Islamic concepts
and ideals, and it is well known that some of his works of prose and
verse were influenced by Persian poetry and Sufism. Tagore’s father knew
Persian and could recite the poetry of Ḥāfiẓ (d. 1389) by heart. Tagore
himself was also deeply influenced by the Persian classical poet. In the last
decade
of his life, Tagore described his admiration for the great Persian
Sufi poets, visiting the tombs of Ḥāfiẓ and Sa‘dī in Shiraz. In this article,
I will discuss the spiritual milieu of the Persianate culture of nineteenthand
early twentieth-century Bengal to shed light on the extent of the
influence of Persian
Sufi ideas on this milieu in general and Tagore in particular.
Attention
will also be given to other aspects of Tagore’s religious
syncretism: Bāul mysticism and its lyric poetry, Sahaja Buddhism, Vedanta
philosophy, the Upanishads, and a few other currents of Eastern thought.
Lastly, I will explore Tagore’s relationship with Persian Sufi concepts and
poetry and discuss the effect of his visit to Iran and his encounter with the
poet Ḥāfiẓ.

It was, so legend tells us, on the advice of his learned vizier the Shi'ite philosopher Nasir al-Din, who characterized them as "the scum of the earth." In this monograph Karamustafa battles to remove the "water-tight separation" which existed in pre-modern Islamic history between the "high," official religion of the cultured elite and the "low," so-called antinomian religion of the masses. "Dervish piety," as he points out in his conclusion, "has been obscured beyond recognition and generally ignored in favor of research into 'mainstream' religious phenomena." (p. 97) Take one-certainly the most celebrated, probably the least understoodexample of such dervish piety, a key phenomenon in medieval Islamic religious topography discussed by the author: the emergence of the Qalandariyya movement in eastern Khurasan and Turkestan in the tenth century. One of the leaststudied movements in early seventh/thirteenth-century Persian Sufism, the Qalandariyya most likely had their roots in the Arabfiutuwwa (Islamic chivalry) and late Sassanian javanmardi traditions, movements which stressed many of the same spiritual values that fostered the development of early Sufism;1 they were also closely connected to the early malimati tradition which later, in the early thirteenth century, developed into organized td'ifas.2 The Qalandariyya, known for their radical lifestyles and deliberate social deviance, under the leadership of Jamal al-Din Savi (d. ca. 630/1232) developed into a separate order with khianaqiihs scattered all over medieval Turkey, Persia, India, Egypt and Libya.3 In fact, this order can be regarded as a restructuring of malcimati doctrine.4 Reference to qalandar Sufis appears in the fourteenth-century hagiogra-1.

During that period of nine centuries a certain amount of redefining and modification of the tropes of badf must have taken place. Second, al-Nabulsi's mystical background could lead us to the tentative hypothesis that at least some of his interpretations of the 180 tropes he discusses in his book were shaded by his beliefs, as was the case with some mystics who appear to have imported Arabic grammatical terms and concepts into their mystical teachings. This is a point of consideration that needs to be followed up.

The two volumes, while reprinting a fair amount of material (some of which is of dubious quality), do present much new material to the reader. They do facilitate teaching and understanding, as long as they are used carefully and critically. The Anthology is thus a major contribution and once it is complete (in five or six projected volumes), it will no doubt transform the way in which we perceive and study philosophical traditions in Persia.

The technical terms used to describe the anatomy of the eye, planetary conjunctions, and the theological formulations of al-Kirmani, are evidence that the corpus dates from roughly the year 900.

Ni‘matu’lla¯hı¯ Sufi Order in modern Iran, this review article tries to cast light on the
little-understood relationship between legalistic Islam and Persian Sufism. It also
attempts to clarify the connection (or rather, lack thereof) between Sufism and the
Pahlavi state and the current Islamist regime, while discussing the subtle distinction
between ta
_
sawwuf and ‘irfa¯n in the mystical philosophies of Shi‘ite Islam. Some of the
vicissitudes of three decades (1978–2008) of suppression and persecution of Sufis by the
fundamentalist Shi‘ite state in Iran are also chronicled.
