Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study analyzes the committed religio-political poetry of al-Mu'ayyad al-Shirazi, chief missionary for the Fatimids in the fifth/eleventh century, demonstrating his founding of the tradition of ''Fatimid da'wa (religious mission) poetry" that has flourished after him for a thousand years. |
