Malāmatiyān va taʼs̱īr-i ānhā bar ghazalʹsarāyī-i Fārsī: az āghāz-i sadah-i shishum-i H.Q. tā pāyān-i sadah-i hashtum-i H.Q

This monograph by Sayyid ʻAlī Jaʻfarī Ṣādiqī offers a detailed historical and literary analysis of the Malāmatīyah, a significant strand of Islamic mysticism in Īrān, and its specific impact on the development of the Persian ghazal. Covering the critical period from the 6th to the 8th centuries AH (12th-14th centuries CE), the author delineates the core principles of the Malāmatī path, such as the rejection of hypocrisy and the concealment of spiritual states, distinguishing them from the Qalandarīyah and Futuwwat movements. The book analyses how these concepts permeated the works of seminal poets like Sanāʼī, ʻAṭṭār, Mawlānā, and Ḥāfiẓ, effectively shaping the thematic landscape of classical Persian literature. Published in Shīrāz, this volume serves as a key resource for scholars of Sufism and Persian literary history.
