Book Description:
This 1935 English translation of a classic Arabic text in Sūfīsm, the mystical aspect of Islam by A. J. Arberry preserves the beauty and simplicity of the original without departing from a literal translation. The original is important because it is the earliest extant text to reconcile Sūfīsm and orthodox Islam.
From the Back Cover:
A reissue of the English translation of a classic Arabic text in the history of Sufism, the mystical aspect of Islam. Professor Arberry's translation, first published in 1935, has long been unobtainable, and it is hoped that this new printing will be of value not only to scholars but also to general readers interested in mysticism and comparative religion.
