Overview

The Secret Rose Garden of Sa'd Ud Din MahmAd ShabistarAE Rendered From the Persian with an Introduction By Florence Lederer London, J. Murray A collection of poems written in the 14th century by Sheikh Mahmoud Shabestari. It is considered to be one of the greatest classical Persian works of the Islamic mystical tradition known in the west as Sufism. The poems are mostly based on Irfan, Islam, Sufism and sciences dependent on them. The book was written about 1311 in rhyming couplets. It was written in response to seventeen queries concerning Sufi metaphysics posed to the Sufi literati of Tabriz by Rukh Al Din Amir Husayn Harawi (d. 1318).[1] It was also the main reference used by Francois Bernier when explaining Sufism to his European friends (in: Lettre sur le Quietisme des Indes; 1688). In English the book's title is variously given as Garden of Secrets, The Garden of Mystery, The Mystic Rose Garden, or The Secret Rose Garden.
