Sa'd al-din Mahmud Shabistari (1250 - 1320) is one of the most celebrated authors of Persian Sufism. Because of his gift for expressing the Sufi mystical vision with extraordinary clarity, his Gulshan-i raz or Secret Rose Garden rapidly became one of the most popular works of Persian Sufi poetry, and is recognized as a central work of that tradition.
