A collection of essays on poetry and mystical thoughts of prominent Iranian poet, Farid al-Din Attar Neishaburi has been recently published [January 9, 2007] by the Institute of Isma'ili Studies in London.
The book entitled "Attar and Iranian Sufism" is divided into three parts, each of which is dedicated to "Attar and Iranian Mystic Tradition", "Conference of the Birds"(Mantiq al-Tair), "Attar's Lyric and epic Poetry" respectively.
Consisting of several recent essays by 16 researchers from North America, Europe and Iran, this valuable work renders a rather comprehensive picture of Attar's philosophy.
