Dec 30, 2023 at 11:26 vote accept Rand al'Thor
Sep 21, 2021 at 16:14 comment added Rand al'Thor Thanks for the further digging! This could be as good as it's going to get at all; I'll probably accept it, and if someone else ever finds something more definitive about the Sheikh and Nilufer, I'll give them a bounty.
Sep 21, 2021 at 11:08 comment added Spagirl @Randal'Thor I've had a further bash at this, certainly nothing as satisfying as the lovers by way of identification, but I think this is as good as it's going to get from me.

Nilufer and the Sheikh tackled
Sep 19, 2021 at 21:15 comment added Rand al'Thor Did you ever go back to dig some more for the Pious Sheikh and Nilufer (Niloufar?) of Armenia? This is a great answer and possibly worthy of the checkmark anyway, but I held off in case it's going to be updated with the last missing piece.
Apr 23, 2021 at 20:49 comment added Spagirl @Randal'Thor I might come back to it after the weekend. I kind of ran out of steam!
Apr 23, 2021 at 17:04 comment added Rand al'Thor Great research, thank you! Re the Sheikh - I don't know if you checked my link to the story, but the footnotes I mentioned did refer to him as "the Pious who fell in love with the daughter of the King of Armenia", if that's any use in digging up further info? Re Nilufer, I note that that's a more Turkish spelling of the common girl's name which in Persian would be Nilufar or Niloufar - maybe alternative spellings could help in searching for info.
