The Great Satan Vs. the Mad Mullahs
Originally published: Westport, Conn.: Praeger Publishers, 2005. With new preface.
Esoteric Traditions in Islamic Thought
The notion of esoteric knowledge is one of the pillars of Islamic intellectual tradition. Though most visible in Sufism, it also dominated the first three and a half centuries of Shi‘ite thought. In this rich anthology, Leonard Lewisohn explores Islamic esotericism through the works of eleven authors who flourished in Persia, Central Asia and Asia Minor from the eleventh to the nineteenth centuries. He presents excerpts from each text in translation, accompanying these with introductions to the author’s life, works and thought. In the course of his erudite and enlightening commentary, he explores the common ground of esoteric thought and terminology, revealing a unity of perspective among Muslim thinkers.
The Messiah of Shiraz
Based throughout on original Persian and Arabic sources, most in manuscript, this is an exhaustive overview of Babi history and doctrine. Alongside Amanat's "Resurrection and Renewal," this distillation of a lifetime's work on the movement brings Babi studies into the twentieth century.
The Forgotten Schools
By the end of the nineteenth century it became evident to Iran's ruling Qajar elite that the state's contribution to the promotion of modern education in the country was unable to meet the growing expectations set by Iranian society. Muzaffar al-Din Shah sought to remedy this situation by permitting the entry of the private sector into the field of modern education and in 1899 the first Baha'i school was established in Tehran. By the 1930s there were dozens of Baha'i schools. Their high standards of education drew many non-Baha'i students, from all sections of society.Here Soli Shahvar assesses these 'forgotten schools' and investigates why they proved so popular not only with Baha'is, but Zoroastrians, Jews and especially Muslims. Shahvar explains why they were closed by the reformist Reza Shah in the late 1930s and the subsequent fragility of the Baha'is position in Iran.
The Passion of Al-Hallaj, Mystic and Martyr of Islam, Volume 2
Volume 2 of 4. Encompassing the whole milieu of early Islamic civilization, this major work of Western orientalism explores the meaning of the life and teaching of the tenth-century mystic and martyr, al-Hallaj. With profound spiritual insight and transcultural sympathy, Massignon, an Islamicist and scholar of religion, penetrates Islamic mysticism in a way that was previously unknown. Massignon traveled throughout the Middle East and western India to gather and authenticate al-Hallaj's surviving writings and the recorded facts. After assembling the extant verses and prose works of al-Hallaj and the accounts of his life and death, Massignon published La Passion d'al-Hallaj in 1922. At his de...

La révolution constitutionnelle à Tabriz à travers les archives diplomatiques françaises (1906-1909)
En août 2006, les Iraniens ont célébré le centième anniversaire de la signature du firman par lequel Mozaffar od-Din Shâh (1896-1907) accorda la Constitution (mashrutiyat) à son peuple, transformant la monarchie absolue des Qâjâr en un régime monarchique constitutionnel. Son successeur Mohammad-‘Ali Shâh (1907-1909) qui tantôt respecta cette Constitution tantôt la contesta, finit par s'y opposer. Le 23 juin 1908, il fit bombarder le Parlement (Majles), symbole de la monarchie constitutionnelle. Tabriz résista à ce coup de force et le mouvement constitutionnaliste prit des allures de Révolution qui finit par faire abdiquer le monarque absolutiste, le 16 juillet 1909, en fave...
