The Secrets of the Self
The Tarjuman al-ashwaq. A Collection of Mystical Odes by Muhyi' ddin Ibn al-Arabi
A Literary History of the Arabs
The Table-talk of Jalalu'ddin Rumi
The great poet, whose Mathnawí and Díwáni Shamsi Tabríz are well known to students of Persian mysticism, is said to be the author of a prose work entitled Fíhi má fíhi . Riḍá Qulí Khán mentions it in the preface to the Tabríz edition of the Díwán , remarking that it is addressed for the most part to Mu'ínu'ddín, the Parwána (Lord Chamberlain) of Rúm, that it is equivalent to 3,000 verses in extent, and that manuscripts are rare. I have not met wi…

IV. The Goal of Muḥammadan Mysticism
The title of this paper suggests a definite answer to a definite question. I do not think that such an answer can be given except in very general terms.

The goal is ineffable: all that can be done is to describe the journey from beginning to end. This is no easy task, and would assuredly be a lo…

XXV. The Lives of ‘Umar, Ibnu’l-Farid and Muhiyyu'ddin Ibnu'l-'Arabi, extracted from the Shadharátu'l-Dhahab
The Shadharátu'l-Dhahab fi akhbári man dhahab , briefly described in the J.R.A.S. for 1899, p. 911 seq., is a biographical dictionary of persons who died between the years 1 and 1000 A.H., of which, besides the MS. in my possession, the only copy known to me is one belonging to the Khedivial Library in Cairo (Catalogue, vol. v, p. 72). Some idea of its extent may be gathered from the fact that the articles printed below form approximately a 200th…
XI. A Historical Enquiry concerning the Origin and Development of Sufiism, with a list of Definitions of the terms ‘Ṣúfi’ and ‘Taṣawwuf,’ arranged chronologically
The nucleus of the present article was meant in the first instance to be added as a note to a chronological list of definitions of the terms ‘Ṣúfí’ and ‘Taṣawwuf’ chiefly compiled from the Risála of Qushayrí (Cairo, 1287 a.h. ), the Tadhkiratu'l-Awliyá of Farídu'ddín ‘Aṭṭár (cited as T.A.), and the Nafaḥátu'l-Uns of Jámí (Calcutta, 1859). These works contain about a hundred definitions of ‘Ṣúfí’ and ‘Taṣawwuf,’ none of which exceeds a few lines i…

Art. II.—A Persian Manuscript attributed to Fakhru' ddīn Rāzī
This manuscript, which is now in my possession, has unfortunately lost anumber of pages at the beginning. Neither title nor author's name occurs in the text, but inside the cover an old Oriental penman has left the following inscription: , “The Preservation of Health, composed by Imām Fakhru' ddīn Rāzī — may God make bright his tomb! “The colophon is: Hājī Khalīfa (under ) ascribes to Hippocrates a work with this title, addressed to King Antiochu…
