Anwāriyya is a translation and the only known commentary in Persian of Shihāb al-Dīn Suhrawardī’s Ḥikmat al-Ishrāq, Philosophy of Illumination. It was written in 1629 by Muḥammad-Sharif Nizām al-Dīn Ahmad b. al-Hirawī and rests, in part, on the commentary by Quṭb al-Dīn Shirazi (d. 1311) in Arabic.

This volume is based on the only known manuscript of Anwāriyya, which in Berlin’s Königlichen Bibliothek, and edited, with an introduction, by Hossein Ziai.
