This book, first published in 1978, treats methods of describing
the total and special vocabularies of a given text and demonstrates
a procedure of description of the vocabulary of the Sufi Mathnavi
poem Tariq-ut-tahqiq, composed in the middle of the fourteenth
century. The book gives a complete concordance, also indicating
inflexional forms, and a complete frequency word-list of this New
Persian text. The word-lists are followed by a statistical survey
of the general vocabulary, the Arabic loan-words and the
Sufi-religious terminology.
First published in 1983, this edited collection is based on
contributions at a Scandinavian symposium on the place of women in
Islamic society. It offers perspectives which illuminate our
understanding of social relationships and structures pertaining to
a vast number of the world's population dispersed throughout Asia
and Africa. Sociological and anthropological investigations of
social organization and the behavioural patterns provided in these
papers demonstrate that the status of women, their rights, duties
and control over property, their body, the degree of seclusion and
veiling, vary considerably. Overall, this collection of papers show
that the relationship between Islam and the everyday lives of
Muslim women is a complex picture, one that is confronted with a
considerable range of interpretations of laws and traditions. This
book will be of particular interest to those studying women and
Islam, anthropology, religion and sociology.

The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this
rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the
perspective of individual languages, language families, language
groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a
deepened study of empirical data. Special emphasis is given to
little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on
long-standing problems in general linguistics.
Volume V of A History of Persian Literature presents a broad survey
of Persian prose: from biographical, historiographical, and
didactic prose, to scientific manuals and works of popular prose
fiction. It analyzes the rhetorical devices employed by writers in
different periods in their philosophical and political discourse;
or when their aim is primarily to entertain rather than to instruct
, the chapters describe different techniques used to transform old
stories and familiar tales into novel versions to entice their
audience. Many of the texts in prose cited in the volume share a
wealth of common lore and literary allusions with Persian poetry.
Prose and poetry frequently appear on the same page in tandem. In
different ways, therefore, this creative interplay demonstrates the
perennial significance of intertextuality, from the earliest times
to the present; and help us in the process to further our
understanding and enhance our enjoyment of Persian literature in
its different manifestations throughout history
