In 'Ala' al-Dawla al-Simnani between Spiritual Authority and
Political Power: A Persian Lord and Intellectual in the Heart of
the Ilkhanate, 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 1 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 2 contains a study on the phenomenon of Arabic-Persian
diglossia in Simnani's written work, arguing for its
socio-religious function; in Chapters 3 to 6 the critical editions
of two important, interrelated treatises by Simnani are presented;
finally, Chapter 7 offers the first full-length annotated
translation of a long work by Simnani ever to appear in a Western
language.
