An Introduction to Attar’s quatrains

After introducing and discussing ʿAṭṭar, the quatrain form, and the Mokhtâr-nâma, we will read, translate, and discuss some of its quatrains and ʿAṭṭâr’s prose introduction to the work.
This talk will be in Persian. There will be an introduction in English for interested students at 4pm in the NELC Lounge (3rd floor, Pick Hall).
