Queen Belacane is dying. As a last act, she inscribes a book of
counsels, or princes mirror, to guide her newborn son on his lifes
path. The Queens counsels illuminate the way of futuwwa, a
tradition of mystical chivalry traced to the Prophet Abraham. If
the Prince would unite the chivalries of both Christendom and Islam
and attain the Cup Mixed with Camphor, he must fulfil the pillars
of his faith, and uphold the universal virtues of wisdom, courage,
temperance, and generosity.
An excellent translation of Nizami's 12th century poetic
masterpiece of the legend of the romantic fool. Tale of the ideal
lover, and allegory of the soul's search for God.
In the Sufism of ancient Iran, the quest for the dawning of light
in the cosmic North symbolises the mystic's search for realisation.
In this spiritual journey, the light arising in man's inner
darkness -- the Northern Light or Midnight Sun -- represents the
impartial but brilliant light of truth, that which sets us free
from egotism and from slavery to material existence.
