Mahmud Shabistari

A CONTEMPORARY OF Saadi of Shiraz, Shabistari is the author of the celebrated mystical text, The Secret Garden. Although very little is known of his life, it is clear that his work was influenced by the spiritual upheaval of the Mongol invasion of Iran, which took place half way through the 13th century.
