So argues esteemed professor of medieval Islam William C. Chittick in this survey of the extensive Arabic and Persian literature on topics ranging from the Qur'an up through the twelfth century. Bringing to light extensive foundational Persian sources never before presented, Chittick draws on more than a thousand pages of newly translated material to depict the rich prose literature at the center of Islamic thought.SufismSufi literatureHistory and criticismElectronic books.Sufism.Sufi literatureHistory and criticism.297.2/11Chittick William C.236820Nasr Seyyed HosseinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465240503321Divine love2453329UNINA
