Description

The Oriental Scholar's sincere endeavour to establish a mutual understanding between East and West by stringing up the selected pearls of mystical teaching of last great poet of Persia; especially, for those who find a great beauty and peace of soul in lofty philosophy of mysticism.

In the preparation of this brief Composition much depended upon the kindness and generosity of certain Oriental scholars, who have allowed me to reproduce some of their translation from Jami. I have attempted to give their best work in so far as it tends to illustrate the mystical teaching of the last great poet of Persia.
