Apart from the celebrities of Sufi poets such as Ibn al-Fārid and Jalāl al-Dīn al-Rūmiy, the book throws light on a group of unknown Sufi poets, whose works have never been unpublished, inter alios: Samnūn al-Muhib (d. 297 H.); Abū ‘Aliy al-Rūdhbāriy (d. 322 H.); Šihāb al-Dīn al-Suhrawardiy (murdered in 587 H.); Abū Midiyan al-Ghawth (d. 594 H.); Rašīd al-Dīn bin-Khalīfa (d. 616 H.); Najm al-Dīn Kubrā (martyred in 618 H.); Abūl-Hasan al-Šuštariy (d. 668 H.) and Najm al-Dīn bin-Isarā’īl (d. 677 H.). The book presents chapters from their lives as well as selections from their poetry.
