Presents the most complete Persian edition and the first known English translation of the Durr al-Majlis
The book investigates lines of connection and shared literary heritage between the Persianate and Malay-Indonesian worlds over many centuries. Majid Daneshgar provides a critical and comparative study of Persianate-Malay stories, with specific focus on Durr al-Majlis, or Pearl of Gatherings a classical Islamic text produced by Sayf Zafar (late thirteenthmid-fourteenth centuries CE), a writer and scholar of Central Asian background, during the Delhi Sultanate.
The book illustrates how the Durr al-Majlis contains various legal, theological-philosophical, metaphysical, chivalrous and mystical accounts. In addition, it traces how the book travelled beyond the so-called 'Balkans-to-Bengal' borders and was copied, translated and annotated across Eastern Africa, Eastern Turkistan, Mongol-dominated China, Arabic-speaking Egypt and South East Asia. It demonstrates how this Persian collection of stories shaped the idea of Islam, Islamic teachings and stories across the Muslim World, and in the Malay-Indonesian World in particular.
