Omschrijving
This work is a critical Arabic text edition of Salwat al-ʿārifīn wa-uns al-mushtāqīn, a manual of early Sufism by Abū Khalaf al-Ṭabarī (d. ca. 470/1077). It is an integral part of Sufi literature and reflects Islamic developments in Nishapur in northeastern Iran.
“…a finely produced collaborative work of painstaking scholarship and meticulous detail by two leading figures in the field.It sets the bar high for future scholars intending to publish critical editions of medieval Arabic texts.” Atif Khalil in The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 31.3 (2014) "...the present edition provides presentday scholars with another invaluable window into the historical formation of the Sufi tradition and will be a required point of reference for future studies in the field." Martin Nguyen in Journal of the American Oriental Society, Vol. 136, No. 3 (July-September 2016)
