| book description |

In Saints hommes de Chiraz et du FÄrs. Pouvoir, sociÃ©tÃ© et lieux de sacralitÃ© (Xe-XVe s.), Denise Aigle studies the spiritual role, but also the political one, played by the Sufi shaykhs. From the tenth century, FÄrs was a a land of holiness with Shaykh KabÄ«r in Shiraz and Murshid al-DÄ«n AbÅ« Isá¸¥Äq in KÄzarÅ«n. This research is based on hagiographic sources, historical chronicles, literary sources and archival documents. The author shows how the pre-Islamic history of FÄrs was integrated into spiritual Islam thanks to the mystical speculations of the Sufi shaykhs. The particular interest of this research is its contribution to the history of LÄristÄn, a region that has long remained terra incognita. Thanks to handwritten hagiographic documents preserved in several private libraries, we discover the existence and the role of spiritual masters until now totally unknown.
