Boroujerdi Mehzrad - Mirror for the Muslim Prince

Acknowledgments

THE IDEA FOR THIS BOOK germinated during a conference I had organized at Syracuse University in 2006. All the distinguished contributors to this volume presented papers at this event and in the ensuing years revised their papers to make them suitable for publication. The chapter by Shomali and Boroujerdi and the one by Rutherford were not part of the conference but were added later to address certain lacunae in the project. I want to sincerely thank each and every one of the contributors for their graciousness and patience as this manuscript went through the travails of the publication process. Gratitude is also due Zayde Antrim, M. Skr Hanioglu, Naeem Inayatullah, Tazim Kassam, David S. Powers, and Robert Rubinstein, whose participation, presentations, and comments enriched the quality of this project.

I would like to thank Syracuse Universitys Ray Smith Symposium and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs for providing financial support for the conference and to Smithsonian Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery for the book cover. I also would like to gratefully acknowledge Middle East Journal, Princeton University Press, and Central European University Press for permissions to use modified and abridged sections from the following earlier texts by Bruce K. Rutherford (What Do Egypts Islamists Want? Moderate Islam and the Rise of Islamic Constitutionalism); Roxanne L. Euben (Journeys to the Other Shore: Muslim and Western Travelers in Search of Knowledge); and Aziz al-Azmeh (The Times of History: Universal Topics in Islamic Historiography).

I owe special thanks to John Fruehwirth for ameliorating this manuscript with his meticulous attention to thorny details as only he can and to Mary Selden Evans for her eagerness to see this volume published. I also owe a great deal to my friend and colleague Alireza Shomali, and to my able research assistants Todd Fine, Joanna Palmer, Nicholas Patriciu, Roya Soleimani, and Kate Vasharakorn for their administrative support and for tracking down missing references in every possible way.
