"In The Aura of Kings, Abolala Soudavar traces the symbolism of the farr - or Divine Glory - to its early origins and demonstrates its continuity across Iranian history. This important and very readable study sheds new light on the formulation and development of the symbolism of kingship in Iran and her geo-cultural neighbors, and contributes toward a better understanding of the Iranian worldview in general, and the propagation of the aura as a visual symbol of farr in particular."--Jacket.
