"This translation first published in Penguin classics 1984. This revised edtion first published in Penguin classics 2011"--T.p. verso
"For the narrative of the story as a whole, that is for the English text originally published in 1984, we used the version of the Manṭiq al-ṭayr (Conference of the birds) edited by Dr Sadaq Gouharin (Tehran, 1978). Since this time, a number of critical editions of the poem have appeared, and for the translation of the Prologue and Epilogue we have used the text edited by Dr Mohammad-Reza Shafi'i Kadkani (Tehran, 2004)"--A note on the translation (p. [xxv]-xxvi)

内容説明・目次
内容説明
Composed in the twelfth century in north-eastern Iran, Attar's great mystical poem is among the most significant of all works of Persian literature. A marvellous, allegorical rendering of the Islamic doctrine of Sufism - an esoteric system concerned with the search for truth through God - it describes the consequences of the conference of the birds of the world when they meet to begin the search for their ideal king, the Simorgh bird. On hearing that to find him they must undertake an arduous journey, the birds soon express their reservations to their leader, the hoopoe. With eloquence and insight, however, the hoopoe calms their fears, using a series of riddling parables to provide guidance in the search for spiritual truth. By turns witty and profound, The Conference of the Birds transforms deep belief into magnificent poetry.
