This dissertation is a case study in how the spiritual authority of Ahmad-i Jām (c. 1059-c. 1139), also known as Zhanda Pīl or "the Colossal Elephant," has endured and manifested itself over space and time, from the eleventh century to the nineteenth century. Utilizing a wide variety of evidence drawn from a large number of sources-including hagiographies, traditional histories, theological works, travel accounts, architectural data, poetry, shrine guides, and even shrine graffiti-we can see how this one man's image and popularity has varied and evolved over different times and places, and come to understand how his descendants, his hagiographers, and other fans and devotees have utilized and manipulated his image and popularity for their own benefit. Through their interest and involvement, Ahmad-i Jām has remained relevant and meaningful for Muslims in Khurāsān and beyond for centuries, and this relevancy and meaningfulness has had a real world impact. Specifically, the power of Ahmad's spiritual authority-which survived through his hagiographic image, his reputation for wisdom and knowledge, his ancestry and descendants, his shrine, his silsila, his cloak, etc.-and later people's deft use of these legacies, made Ahmad fill an important niche in the local sacred geography, which in turn allowed the awlād, Ahmad's shrine, and the region of Jām to endure and remain relevant through centuries of invasions, regime and religious changes.
