I r. R. A. Nicholson for his kind and generous permission to use selections from his Divani Shamsi Tabriz, and also his publishers, the Cambridge Press. I am deeply indebted to Mr. E. H.

I also cordially thank Mr. John Hastie for giving me permission to quote a few passages from the late Rev. Professor Hastie s Festival of Spring (J ames Maclehose and Sons, Glasgow). The poems quoted from this volume are entitled :T hy Rose, I saw the Winter weaving, Love sounds the Music of the Spheres, The Souls Love-moved, and The Beloved All in A ll. All the other translations from the lyrical poetry of Jalalu d-D in Riimi are by Mr. R. A. Nicholson.
