"Youthfulness and Chivalry in Iranian Islam", translated by Christine Rhone, (Temenos Academy Review 11 and 12, Temenos Academy, London, 2008 and 2009). "Called in at the last minute to replace another speaker, Corbin gave this two-part lecture at the Eranos Conference of 1971. It is a spontaneous dive into Persian and Arabic linguistics, the source of eternal youth, and the common currents of the Paraclete and the Twelfth Imam. Only Corbin can accomplish this so gracefully." - Christine Rhone.
