In Iran, the city of Shiraz was the principal center of philosophy at this time, and it was here that Najm al-D n Ma m d al-Nayr z (d. after 933/1526), whose life and works are the subject of this book, spent his formative years. An accomplished Sh scholars, Nayr z engaged with Avicennan as well as Suhrawardian philosophy in his works. Beside Nayr z, the present study introduces his contemporaries among the philosophers of Shir.
