He was regarded as the leading religious poet of his time and as an excellent commentator of classical Sufi texts. At the popular level, he has been read as an interpreter of symbolic dreams. Moreover, he played a crucial role in the transmission of the teachings of the Naqshabandiyya in the Ottoman Empire, and he contributed to the eighteenth-century Sufi revival via his disciples. This pioneering book analyzes important aspects of al-Nabulusi's work and places him in the historical context. 410 0$aRoutledge Sufi Series 606 $aSufis$zSyria$vBiography 606 $aSufism$zSyria$zDamascus$xHistory 606 $aSufism$xDoctrines 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSufis 615 0$aSufism$xHistory. 615 0$aSufism$xDoctrines. 676 $a297.4092 700 $aSirriyeh$b Elizabeth.$0904810 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450947803321 996 $aSufi visionary of Ottoman Damascusa$92023495 997 $aUNINA
