Dated to 1580s, this textual corpus includes the oldest extant versions of poems attributed to Kabīr and invites comparisons with other strands of Kabīrian scriptural and oral traditions of North India. His thoughts, embodied in poems, songs, and short epigrammatic couplets, often sound as radical and unsettling to the present-day listener, or reader, as they did to his contemporaries Workplace Oriental Institute Contact Zuzana Kvapilová, kvapilova@orient.cas.cz, Tel.: 266 053 950 Year of Publishing 2018
