During World War I, in the city of Urmia, Iran, the Russian consul Basil Nikitin recruited the Kurdish Mullah Sa'id of Shamdinan to assist him in the study of the Kurdish language.

Concluding a century of Orientalist scholarship, the volume offers a vivid portrayal of Kurdish culture and oral tradition in a highly refined literary form.Funded by the European Union (ERC, ALHOME, 101021183).
