Singing with the Mountains: The Language of God in the Afghan Highlands
William Sherman
In the Afghan highlands of the sixteenth century, the messianic community known as the Roshaniyya attempted to develop techniques of language intended to render their own tongues the organs of continuous revelation. Their story ends in a tower of skulls. In the example of the Roshaniyya, Sherman discovers a set of questions and anxieties about the capacities of language.
