Reihe Iran - Turan Band 6
This book is a description and an analysis of the sung poetry of the Ismailis
from Tajik Badakhshan and is based on material collected during fieldwork in
the Pamir Mountains, in the south-east of the Central Asian republic of
Tajikistan. The Ismailis of Badakhshan have a rich religious and poetic
tradition which has largely been handed down orally. The book contains an
extensive anthology containing transcripts of the poetry recorded during
fieldwork. This poetry, both in Persian and in Pamir languages, has never
been published before.
