Attar and allegorical literature: Attar, or Farid al-Din Attar, was a 12th- and 13th-century Persian poet, mystic, and hagiographer. He is considered one of the greatest figures of Sufi literature, and his works are characterized by their allegorical and symbolic style, and their exploration of the spiritual journey of the soul. Attar’s most famous works include the Tadhkirat al-Awliya, or the Memorial of the Saints, a collection of biographies of Sufi saints and masters, the Manteq al-Tayr, or the Conference of the Birds, an allegorical poem that describes the quest of the birds for the mythical Simurgh, or the king of the birds, and the Asrar-nameh, or the Book of Secrets, a mystical treatise on the secrets of Sufism.
