Jami in Regional Contexts: The Reception of 'Abd Al-Rahman Jami's
Works in the Islamicate World is the first attempt to present in a
comprehensive manner how 'Abd al-Rahman Jami (d. 898/1492), a most
influential figure in the Persian-speaking world, reshaped the
canons of Islamic mysticism, literature and poetry and how, in
turn, this new canon prompted the formation of regional traditions.
As a result, a renewed geography of intellectual practices emerges
as well as questions surrounding authorship and authority in the
making of vernacular cultures. Specialists of Persian, Arabic,
Chinese, Georgian, Malay, Pashto, Sanskrit, Urdu, Turkish, and
Bengali thus provide a unique connected account of the conception
and reception of Jami's works throughout the Eurasian continent and
maritime Southeast Asia.
Thus Spake the Dervish explores the unfamiliar history of marginal
Sufis, known as dervishes, in early modern and modern Central Asia
over a period of 500 years. It draws on various sources (Persian
chronicles and treatises, Turkic literature, Russian and French
ethnography, the author's fieldwork) to examine five successive
cases, each of which corresponds to a time period, a specific
socially marginal space, and a particular use of mystical language.
Including an extensive selection of writings by dervishes, this
book demonstrates the diversity and tenacity of Central Asian
Sufism over a long period. Here translated into a Western language
for the first time, the extracts from primary texts by marginal
Sufis allow a rare insight into their world. The original French
edition of this book, Ainsi parlait le dervice, was published by
Editions du Cerf (Paris, France). Translated by Caroline Kraabel.
