Book Series

The Sufism Studies Series publishes high-quality scholarship on various aspects of Sufism, devoting attention to both contemporary and historical cultures and intellectual traditions in the world of Islam. The series’ objective is to publish original studies on a range of facets and dimensions of Islamic mysticism, such as its doctrines, its metaphysical theories and cosmologies. In addition to innovative research monographs, the series publishes edited volumes, translations of important Sufi texts accompanied by scholarly introductions and commentary, as well as reference works. While the series publishes books on the core subjects of Sufism, it also introduces original sources which are usually considered peripheral to the Sufi canon or have been branded as ‘popular religion,’ ‘popular mystical Islam,’ or ‘non-conformist thought.’ The core principle of the series is to make original research and central mystical resources accessible to a wider, English-speaking audience.

Iranian Studies Series

The objective of the series is to foster studies of the literary, historical, religious and linguistic products in Iranian languages. In addition to research monographs and reference works, the series publishes English-Persian critical text-editions of important texts. The series intends to publish resources and original research and make them accessible to a wide audience.
