Jāmī in Regional Contexts: The Reception of ʿAbd Al-Raḥmān Jāmī’s Works in the Islamicate World is the first attempt to present in a comprehensive manner how ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jāmī (d. 898/1492), a most influential figure in the Persian-speaking world, reshaped the canons of Islamic mysticism, literature and poetry and how, in turn, this new canon prompted the formation of regional traditions. As a result, a renewed geography of intellectual practices emerges as well as questions surrounding authorship and authority in the making of vernacular cultures. Specialists of Persian, Arabic, Chinese, Georgian, Malay, Pashto, Sanskrit, Urdu, Turkish, and Bengali thus provide a unique connected account of the conception and reception of Jāmī’s works throughout the Eurasian continent and maritime Southeast Asia.

"Man muss die Herausgeber bewundern ob ihrer editorischen […] Das vorliegende Buch zeigt, dass eine solche Kreativität weiter bestanden hat. Das war auch und vor allem an deren Rändern weiter der Fall. Dass darauf hingewiesen wird, ist einer der Vorzüge dieses Buches. Der andere ist, dass hier einem Universalgelehrten islamischer Kultur ein Denkmal gesetzt worden ist, das anderen Forschern Anlass zu weiteren Bemühungen um die Werke dieses bedeutenden Mannes geben wird.“ Peter Heine in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 115/4–5 (2020)
