The volume demonstrates the cultural centrality of the oral
tradition for Iranian studies. It contains contributions from
scholars from various areas of Iranian and comparative studies,
among which are the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian tradition with its wide
network of influences in late antique Mesopotamia, notably among
the Jewish milieu; classical Persian literature in its manifold
genres; medieval Persian history; oral history; folklore and more.
The essays in this collection embrace both the pre-Islamic and
Islamic periods, both verbal and visual media, as well as various
language communities (Middle Persian, Persian, Tajik, Dari) and
geographical spaces (Greater Iran in pre-Islamic and Islamic
medieval periods; Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan of modern
times). Taken as a whole, the essays reveal the unique blending of
oral and literate poetics in the texts or visual artefacts each
author focuses upon, conceptualizing their interrelationship and
function.
