Reviews

""Firouzeh, perhaps more effectively than any other scholar to date, has brought a divergent body of materials from multiple sites in Iran and India into rich, fluid dialogue. . . . Few scholars have managed to access all of these sites in India and Iran, let alone with the depth and critical eye that Firouzeh has brought to that endeavor.""—Yael Rice, author of The Brush of Insight: Artists and Agency at the Mughal Court ""Employing architecture, epigraphy, hagiography, and art history, Peyvand Firouzeh's sumptuously illustrated study explores the many ways that a Sufi tradition based in 15th c. southern Iran became truly transregional, connecting Iran with India in the Timurid and Safavid/Mughal periods.""—Richard M. Eaton, author of India in the Persianate Age: 1000–1765
