People benefited from their light according to their merits and capabilities. Among those few eminent personalities the name of Shaykh Tusi tops the list. In fact he has become immortal by sincerely sacrificing his whole life in search of knowledge and spreading Islamic teachings. Shaykh Abu Ja'far, Muhammad bin Hasan was born at Tus, one of the cities of Khurasan (Iran), in the month of Ramadan 385 A.H. At the age of 23 he left for Baghdad (Iraq) and acquired knowledge from the eminent scholars like Shaykh Mufid and Sayyid Murtadha. After completing his studies he started delivering lectures on Islamic Jurisprudence and its principles. A large number of great scholars used to attend his lectures and the number of his students reached up to 300. After the demise of his teacher, Sayyid Murtadha, in 436 A.H., Shaykh Tusi became the central figure of the Shi'ah world.

  • Irreverent Persia
    Irreverent Persia IRANIAN IRANIAN SERIES SERIES Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of IRREVERENT PERSIA Persian literary history. Its principal genres – invective, satire and burlesque – have been INVECTIVE, SATIRICAL AND BURLESQUE POETRY very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE TIMURID PERIOD have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle (10TH TO 15TH CENTURIES) irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry RICCARDO ZIPOLI (10th century) up to the age of Jâmi (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet. In addition to their historical and linguistic interest, many of these poems deserve to be read for their technical and aesthetic accomplishments, setting them among the masterpieces of Persian literature. Riccardo Zipoli is professor of Persian Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice, where he also teaches Conceiving and Producing Photography. The western cliché about Persian poetry is that it deals with roses, nightingales, wine, hyperbolic love-longing, an awareness of the transience of our existence, and a delicate appreciation of life’s fleeting pleasures. And so a great deal of it does. But there is another side to Persian verse, one that is satirical, sardonic, often obscene, one that delights in ad hominem invective and no-holds barred diatribes. Perhaps surprisingly enough for the uninitiated reader it is frequently the same poets who write both kinds of verse.

    Soltaniyeh & The Taj Mahal Mr. Amir Hessam Rezaei and Miss Ghazaleh Aminoltejari ARTH 397A An Overview • Historical background • History of Soltaniyeh • The Structure • Influence on the Taj Mahal • The Taj Mahal • Q&A • Games! Mongol Ilkhanates • A khanate is Turkic-originated word used to describe a political entity ruled by a Khan. • When Genghis Khan died, he divided his kingdom into 4 sections for each of his grandsons. After the death of Mongke Khan in 1259, a succession war broke out which eventually divided the empire into four separate Khantes. • This is where the Ilkhanate originates from. The Ilkhanate Empire 1256-1335 This 14th-century Persian manuscript shows Genghis Khan and three of his four sons. The youngest, Tolui, fathered Möngke and Hülegü; it was the death of Möngke in early 1260 that prompted the pullback of Hülegü’s army, leaving a much smaller Mongol force to advance on Egypt. Mongols Fighting Ilkhanates Continued… • The founder of the Ilkhanate dynasty was Hulegu Khan. From there on, successions took place for 80 years and eventually led to them to convert to Islam. • Ghazan was the first khan to do so. • Under the harsh reign of succeeding emperors, rivalry between the Christians, Buddhist, and Muslims continued. Ilkhanates Continued… • This brutal pattern continued right through to Öljeitü Khan (held throne between 1304 and 1316). • Öljeitü khan’s tomb now remains perhaps the best known monument of the Ilkhanid Rule in Persia. • This Mausoleum is known as Soltaniyeh. • The successor of Öljeitü, was Abu Sa’id, and with his death the Khante began to disintegrate rapidly.

    THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IRANIAN STUDIES www.iranianstudies.com ISIS Newsletter Volume 36, Number 1 May 2015 EDITOR’S NOTE Dear ISIS Members, The new year has begun with hopeful news of an agreement on the repercussions on the work of our organization and its members in the United States, in Iran, and beyond. It has also begun with new leadership at ISIS, as incoming president Touraj Atabaki has taken the reins from Mehrzad followed by excerpts of speeches given at the recent symposium honoring Professor Ehsan Yarshater on the occasion of his 95th birthday, a highly vivid report of the recently held symposium “Hedayat in Mumbai,” research, member and dissertation news, a list of recently published monographs in Iranian Studies, and much more. We hope you will enjoy the many contributions so generously provided by members of our vibrant community. Finally, a friendly reminder that members can now submit panel, roundtable and paper abstracts for the ISIS 2016 Conference to be held in Vienna by logging in to the ISIS website and following the instructions for submission and conference pre-registration. Warm regards, Mirjam Künkler, Princeton University PRESIDENT’S NOTE It has been a privilege to be trusted by the members of the International Society for Iranian Studies to assume the position of the Presidency of an academic institution, which, with nearly fifty years of history, stands out as one of the oldest associations of its kind in West Asian studies. It is also a privilege to assume the position of the Presidency of the society, when the past-president, in this case my good friend Mehrzad Boroujerdi, has left a management system that eases my tasks enormously.
