The Written World of God is the first and only detailed introduction to Ibn 'Arabis science of letters. Through meticulous and thorough research, Dr. Raic has shone important light on this essential and vast region of the authentic teaching of the greatest master of Sufism. In the process, she demonstrates how this sacramental science is used by Ibn 'Arabi to mine and display the incalculable power of the holy language of Arabic and elaborate a literal metaphor for the creation and functioning of the cosmos and everything in it. This book corrects errors in previous scholarship and opens a very welcome door to the further study of what has been a too-long-neglected - sometimes unfairly disparaged - feature of the writings of Ibn 'Arabi in particular and Sufism in general. --Todd Lawson (Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto) The 'Science of Letters' pervades Ibn 'Arabi's entire work in ways that are both obvious and hidden, so this book by Dunja Raic is very welcome, because it opens a well-crafted window on it for the serious seeker. -- Paolo Urizzi (Perennia Verba, Italy)
