Murvārīd-i Khalīj-i Fārs: Pizhūhishʹhā-yi Īrānʹshināsī dar buzurgdāsht-i Ustād Aḥmad Iqtidārī

This volume is a collection of essays and addresses written in honour of Professor Dr Aḥmad Iqtidārī, reflecting the breadth of his scholarly legacy. The book features topics such as “Ammadī’s Gharar al-ḥikam and Iranian Wisdom Traditions,” “The Persian Gulf Through the Ages,” “The Only Surviving Observatory from the Sāsānid Era?”, “A View on Iranian Music,” “The Life and War Chronicle of ʿAbd al-Qādir Marāghahʾī,” “Ancient Shiraz,” “The Chivalric Code of Futuwwat,” “Rūmī’s Great Fortune,” and “Remembering the Constitutionalists of Tabrīz Through Stone Inscriptions.” These articles explore themes like the history of historiography in Iran and the Islamic world, the roots of Ismāʿīlī thought, the ethics of chivalry and manliness, and the practical use of verbal agents in Arabic and Persian. Collectively, the writings honour the interdisciplinary depth of Iqtidārī’s work and offer rich insights into Iran’s historical, linguistic, and cultural heritage.
