Muslim Saints and Mystics cover

This is a major work of Islamic mysticism by the great thirteenth-century Persian poet, Farid al-Din Attar. Translated by A J Arberry, Attar’s work and thought is set in perspective in a substantial introduction.

"After his discriminating and informative introduction…Professor Arberry leaves Attar’s delicate narratives to recount deeds, miracles and anecdotes that, while revealing the distinct nature of each man’s approach to mystical fulfilment, present at the same time the growth of the Sufi movement through the contributions of these early masters."
