Reviews
This is an outstanding edition which forms a natural complement to Akkach's biography of 'Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi. , Francis Robinson, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. This book is the product of considerable effort, and represents a boon for scholars with an interest in Sufism in the early modern period and especially for the small group of specialists working on 'Abd al-Ghan 2b;. But Akkach's introduction is also of interest to the much larger group of historians and religious studies scholars interested in clarifying the intellectual history of the Muslim world in the early modern period. Justin Stearns in MESA - RoMES 44.1 (2010). Samer Akkach's book is an admirable work, an appropriate tribute to a great Muslim humanist, scholar and mystic. Michael Winter in Journal of Sufi Studies 2.1 (2013), 121-123. DOI: 10.1163/22105956-12341249
