Hang in there while we get back on track
Ibn al-ʻArabī's metaphysical treatise in 27 chapters composed in 1226 in Damascus, accompanied by a short (incomplete?) glossary of Sufi terms. The latter is (loosely) arranged in alphabetical order, starts with al-alif, al-ittiḥād, aḥadīyat al-jamʻ etc., the terms covered correspond to the terms contained in Iṣṭilāḥāt al-Sūfīyah by ʻAbd al-Razzāq al-Qāshānī, but there are much fewer of them and although some of the wording of the explanations is similar to that used by Qāshānī, the text nevertheless differs.
Collection
Part of
Manuscripts of the Islamic World
Manuscripts of the Islamic World offers a curated selection of extraordinary manuscripts hosted or held by Princeton University Library. The manuscripts are predominantly in Arabic, but there are also many in Persian and Ottoman Turkish. The manuscript digitizations here are a fraction of the full Manuscripts of the Islamic World collections, housed in Special Collections in Princeton's Firestone Library. Efforts are ongoing to make the manuscripts of these collections more accessible through conservation, catalog record updates, and digitization.
