Note

The current, popular spelling of Persian Names and Wordshas been generally adopted in the following pages, in order toavoid any appearance of pedantry. The Turkish forms haveoccasionally been preferred when in place, e.g. Devlet forDaulat, and Mevlānā for Maulānā. The exacttransliteration of the Persian—such as Jalálu-'d-Din, Shams-ud-Din,Umar, Ghasal, Díwán—will be found in the foot-note references to morelearned Works.
