This volume contains the text of the five Ehsan
and Latifeh Yarshater Distinguished Lectures on Iranian Studies,
organized by the Unité Mixte de Recherche 7528 "Mondes iranien et
indien", and delivered in 2010 at the Collège de France in Paris.
The series of lectures brings together numerous data illustrating the
confluence of mythological, folkloric and literary themes of Iranian
culture, and their continuity from pre-Islamic till present times. This
interaction between the classical and popular, oral and written
traditions, still little investigated, is being examined on the examples
of five motifs: Kakil, the hero of a winter festival; a spell against
scorpions; the rose and the nightingale; a symbolical dream of the wise
king Xusro Anosirvan; and the eschatological saviour and his horse. The
study is conducted in a diachronic perspective, and its sources range
from the Avesta and Pahlavi texts through the Sahname and
classical Persian literature, up to modern Persian novel and research on
popular customs and beliefs.
