Around 1220, Constantine Komnenodoukas undertook the construction of an unconventional building in Naupaktos, Greece, referred to as a ‘Persian’ soufa. Information on this construction is contained in a letter written by the city’s metropolitan, John Apokaukos, who maintained an adversarial rapport with him. The soufa is described as a rectangular structure with two levels. In the higher one, reserved for Constantine and his retinue, a throne shaped as an episcopal throne was placed. Conversely, the lower level accommodated more humble guests who could only listen to him thundering like Salmoneus from an artificial sky. This architectural venture served as a symbolic manifestation of Constantine’s secular authority, deliberately positioned in contrast to the ecclesiastical figure of the bishop. Noteworthy is Constantine’s deliberate appropriation of ideas, forms, and language acquired during his sojourn in Asia Minor several years before. The resulting structure stands as a singular manifestation, representing a distinctive historical juncture influenced by the personality of Constantine Komnenodoukas, wherein elements of both Byzantine and Islamic art are combined.

Sayyid ʿAli Muḥammad Širāzi (1819–50), known as “the Bāb”, is one of the most important modernizers of the 19th century in Iran. He is one of the first thinkers, within the Islamic thought’s modern framework, who challenged the forces of tradition such as the Shiite clergy and the Persian absolute monarchy by offering a new religious view, which went beyond Islamic religion. This article, after a brief reconstruction of the intellectual biography of the Bāb, will analyse his social and political thought, highlighting his main ideas regarding the role of rationality; the role of education and pedagogy; the economy and industrialization; the environment and the importance of civic cohabitation. The article will focus on Bāb’s views concerning the role of the women in the society and the abolition of the clergy from the religious sphere. This work will also show how Bāb’s thought contributed, together with secular and Islamic reformist intellectuals, to the Iranian constitutional revolution (Mašrūṭe) in the early 20th century.
Sayyid ʿAli Muḥammad Širāzi (1819-50)，人称 "巴卜"，是伊朗 19 世纪最重要的现代化人物之一。他是伊斯兰思想现代框架内最早的思想家之一，通过提出超越伊斯兰宗教的新宗教观，向什叶派神职人员和波斯绝对君主制等传统势力发起了挑战。本文在简要重构巴卜的思想传记后，将分析他的社会和政治思想，重点介绍他关于理性的作用、教育和教学法的作用、经济和工业化、环境和公民共处的重要性等方面的主要观点。文章将重点阐述巴卜关于妇女在社会中的作用以及废除宗教领域神职人员的观点。这部作品还将展示巴卜的思想如何与世俗和伊斯兰改革派知识分子一起，为 20 世纪初的伊朗宪政革命（Mašrūṭe）做出了贡献。

Francesco Alfonso Leccese
Literature, not infrequently, provides a starting point to learn about the cultural framework of specific historical events. It is the case of Tolstoy’s novel Hadji Murat (published posthumously in 1912). By analysing this work, we can catch a Sufi dimension in the author’s representation of the Caucasian resistance movement, so the novel can be seen as a tool that brings out the hidden Sufi heritage of the Caucasian society. As a matter of fact, the words Sufi or Sufism are never mentioned in the novel, even though, from a peculiar historical prospective, the Sufi characterization of this resistance movement is a well-known fact. Yet, the religious practices of the main characters of the Caucasian resistance described by Tolstoy, as well as some specific Arabic terms related to them, represent a clear, albeit unaware, echo of a Sufi imprinting, through Sufism’s peculiar institutions and religious rituals, on the 19th century Caucasian society.

This scholarly exploration delves into the intersection of religious alignment and the validity of governance within identity representations embodied by the Safavid Viceroys (1501–1722), the Georgian Kings of Kartli and Kakheti. Nestled between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, these eastern Georgian territories stood not merely as the focal point of Safavid Iran’s political aspirations but also attracted the attention of Ottoman and Russian imperial strategies. The bi-centennial discord involving Georgian monarchs and their Muslim liege lords transcended conventional political and martial realms, seeping into the spheres of cultural and religious discourse. Within this context, the religious affinities of Georgian subordinates crystallised into a pivotal aspect of the Safavid-Georgian interactions, precipitating the evolution of divergent, fabricated religious affiliations. The Georgian-Persian bilingual documents furnish an invaluable comparative lens to juxtapose the variant religious portrayals of a single Georgian King, in his role as a Safavid Viceroy.
