Sufism and the Perfect Human From Ibn ‘Arabī to al-Jīlī

Sufism and the Perfect Human From Ibn ‘Arabī to al-Jīlī

Studying the history of the notion of the ‘Perfect Human’ (al-insān al-kāmil) this book investigates a key idea in the history of Sufism. First discussed by Ibn ‘Arabī and later treated in greater depth by al-Jīlī the idea left its mark on later Islamic mystical metaphysical and political thought from North Africa to Southeast Asia up until modern times. The research tells the story of the development of that idea from Ibn ‘Arabī to al-Jīlī and beyond. It does so through a thematic study based on close reading of primary sources in Arabic and Persian of the key elements of the idea including the idea that the Perfect Human is a locus of divine manifestation (maẓhar) the concept of the ‘Pole’ (quṭb) and the ‘Muhammadan Reality’ (al-ḥaqīqah al-Muhammadiyyah) and the identity of the Perfect Human. By setting the work of al-Jīlī against the background of earlier Ibn ‘Arabian treatments of the idea it demonstrates that al-Jīlī took the idea of the Perfect Human in several new directions with major consequences for how the Prophet Muhammad – the archetypal Perfect Human – was viewed in later Islamic thought. Introducing readers to the key Sufi idea of the Perfect Human (al-insān al-kāmil) this volume will be of interest to scholars and students interested in Sufism Islam religion and philosophy. | Sufism and the Perfect Human From Ibn ‘Arabī to al-Jīlī

The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) Text Translation and Commentary

The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) Text Translation and Commentary

In 1105 six years after the first crusaders from Europe conquered Jerusalem a Damascene Muslim jurisprudent named ’Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) publicly dictated an extended call to the military jihad (holy war) against the European invaders. Entitled Kitab al-Jihad (The Book of the Jihad) al-Sulami’s work both summoned his Muslim brethren to the jihad and instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be conducted covering topics as diverse as who should fight and be fought treatment of prisoners and plunder and the need for participants to fight their own inner sinfulness before turning their efforts against the enemy. Al-Sulami’s text is vital for a complete understanding of the Muslim reaction to the crusades providing the reader with the first contemporary record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders. However until recently only a small part of the text has been studied by modern scholars as it has remained for the most part an unedited manuscript. In this book Niall Christie provides a complete edition and the first full English translation of the extant sections (parts 2 8 9 and 12) of the manuscript of al-Sulami’s work making it fully available to modern readers for the first time. These are accompanied by an introductory study exploring the techniques that the author uses to motivate his audience the precedents that influenced his work and possible directions for future study of the text. In addition an appendix provides translations of jihad sermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985) a preacher from Asia Minor whose rhetorical style was highly influential in the development of al-Sulami’s work. | The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) Text Translation and Commentary

Ibn al-'Arabi and Islamic Intellectual Culture From Mysticism to Philosophy

Ibn al-'Arabi and Islamic Intellectual Culture From Mysticism to Philosophy

Ibn al-'Arabī (d. 1240) was one of the towering figures of Islamic intellectual history and among Sufis still bears the title of al-shaykh al-akbar or the greatest master. Ibn al-'Arabī and Islamic Intellectual Culture traces the history of the concept of oneness of being (wahdat al-wujūd) in the school of Ibn al- 'Arabī in order to explore the relationship between mysticism and philosophy in Islamic intellectual life. It examines how the conceptual language used by early mystical writers became increasingly engaged over time with the broader Islamic intellectual culture eventually becoming integrated with the latter’s common philosophical and theological vocabulary. It focuses on four successive generations of thinkers (Sadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī Mu'ayyad al-Dīn al-Jandī 'Abd al-Razzāq al-Kāshānī and Dāwūd al-Qaysarī) and examines how these philosopher-mystics refined and developed the ideas of Ibn al-'Arabī. Through a close analysis of texts the book clearly traces the crystallization of an influential school of thought in Islamic history and its place in the broader intellectual culture. Offering an exploration of the development of Sufi expression and thought this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Islamic thought philosophy and mysticism. | Ibn al-'Arabi and Islamic Intellectual Culture From Mysticism to Philosophy

Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics Volume 2

Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics Volume 2

This volume provides a unique primary source on the history and philosophy of mathematics and the exact sciences in the mediaeval Arab world. The second of five comprehensive volumes this book offers a detailed exploration of Arabic mathematics in the eleventh century as embodied in the legacy of the celebrated polymath al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham. Extensive analyses and annotations from the eminent scholar Roshdi Rashed support a number of key Arabic texts from Ibn al-Haytham’s treatises in infinitesimal mathematics translated here into English for the first time. Rashed shows how Ibn al-Haytham’s works demonstrate a remarkable mathematical competence in mathematical subjects like the quadrature of the circle and of lunes the calculation of the volumes of paraboloids the problem of isoperimetric plane figures and solid figures with equal surface areas along with the extraction of square and cubic roots. The present text is complemented by the first volume of A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics which focused on founding figures and commentators in the ninth and tenth centuries Archimedean-Apollonian mathematical ‘School of Baghdad’. This constellation of works illustrates the historical and epistemological development of ‘infinitesimal mathematics’ as it became clearly articulated in the oeuvre of Ibn al-Haytham. Contributing to a more informed and balanced understanding of the internal currents of the history of mathematics and the exact sciences in Islam and of its adaptive interpretation and assimilation in the European context this fundamental text will appeal to historians of ideas epistemologists and mathematicians at the most advanced levels of research. | Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics Volume 2

Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

The subject of human free-will versus divine predestination is one of the most contentious topics in classical Islamic thought. By focusing on a theme of central importance to any philosophy of religion and to Islam in particular this book offers a critical study of the intellectual contributions offered to this discourse by three key medieval Islamic thinkers: Avicenna al-Ghāzālī and Ibn ʿArabī. Through investigation of primary sources Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought establishes the historical political and intellectual circumstances which prompted Avicenna al-Ghāzālī and Ibn ʿArabī’s attempts at harmonization. By analysing the theoretical and linguistic ‘techniques’ which were employed to convey these endeavours this book demonstrates that the three individuals were committed to compromise between philosophical theological and mystical outlooks. Arguing that the three scholars’ treatments of the so-called qaḍā wa’l-qadar (decree and destiny) and ikhtiyār (free-will) issues were innovative influential and fundamentally more complex than hitherto recognized this book contributes to a fuller understanding of Islamic intellectual history and culture and will be useful to researchers interested in Islamic Studies Religion and Islamic Mysticism. | Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

The Origins of the Grand Tour / 1649-1663 / The Travels of Robert Montagu Lord Mandeville William Hammond and Banaster Maynard

The Origins of the Grand Tour / 1649-1663 / The Travels of Robert Montagu Lord Mandeville William Hammond and Banaster Maynard

Focusing upon three previously unpublished accounts of youthful English travellers in Western Europe (in contrast to the renowned but maturely retrospective memoirs of other seventeenth-century figures such as John Evelyn) this study reassesses the early origins of the cultural phenomenon known as the 'Grand Tour'. Usually denoted primarily as a post-Restoration and eighteenth-century activity the basis of the long term English fascination with the 'Grand Tour' was firmly rooted in the mid-Tudor and early-Stuart periods. Such travels were usually prompted by one of three reasons: the practical needs of diplomacy the aesthetic allure of cultural tourism and the expediencies of political or religious exile. The outbreak of the English Civil War during the late-1640s acted as a powerful stimulus to this kind of travel for male members of both royalist and parliamentarian families as a means of distancing them from the social upheavals back home as well as broadening their intellectual horizons. The extensive editorial introductions to this publication of the experiences of three young Englishmen also consider how their travel records have survived in a variety of literary forms including personal diaries (Montagu) family letters (Hammond) and formal prose records (Maynard's travels were written up by his servant Robert Moody) and how these texts should now be interpreted not in isolation but alongside the diverse collections of prints engravings curiosities coins and antiquities assembled by such travellers. | The Origins of the Grand Tour / 1649-1663 / The Travels of Robert Montagu Lord Mandeville William Hammond and Banaster Maynard

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

This new volume of papers by Julio Sams³ deals with the development of astronomy and astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib between the 10th and the 19th centuries. Opening with a survey of the social history of the exact sciences in al-Andalus the book then looks at astronomical tables: the first stages of the introduction of al-Khwarizmi's and al-Battani's tables through the school of Maslama al-Majriti the development of Ibn al-Zarqalluh/ Azarquiel's theories in Maghribi zijes (Ibn al-Banna' and Ibn Azzuz) and the abandonment of this tradition towards the end of the 14th century. From this period onwards new Eastern zijes (Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi Ibn al-Shatir Ulugh Beg) are introduced in the Maghrib and towards the beginning of the 17th century a translation of Abraham Zacut and José Vizinho's Almanach Perpetuum (end of the 15th century) becomes well known in the whole Islamic world from Morocco to the Yemen. As well as zijes themselves the author also deals with theoretical astronomy (the use of an elliptical deferent for Mercury in Ibn al-Zarqalluh's equatorium and the criticisms of Ibn al-Haytham and Jabir b. Aflah on Ptolemy's determination of the parameters of the same planet) and with the use of zijes for the calculation of horoscopes and an experimental astrological method for the correction of mean motion planetary tables (Ibn Azzuz).

The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk / 1835–1844 / Volume I / Explorations on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society 1835–183

The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk / 1835–1844 / Volume I / Explorations on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society 1835–183

This is the first of a pair of volumes publishing the full reports of Schomburgk's travels in Guiana between 1835 and 1844 previously available only in greatly abridged and heavily edited versions. Robert Schomburgk left his native Germany for North America in 1828 aged twenty-four. A year later he was in the Caribbean where after various business failures he devoted himself to the investigation of natural history especially botany. Although he had no previous contact with the Royal Geographical Society in London the work he submitted to it was of such a quality that he was able to persuade the Society to sponsor explorations in the north-east of South America an area for which no accurate maps and little reliable information existed. From Schomburgk's arrival in British Guiana in 1835 up to 1839 he explored much of the interior of the colony and completed the arduous overland journey to the Orinoco to connect his survey with that of Alexander von Humboldt. During these expeditions he witnessed maltreatment of Amerindians at the hand of Brazilians and having ascertained that the boundary between Brazil and British Guiana was undefined he proposed it should be fixed so that those within the British colony would be protected from further harassment. The British Government decided to go ahead with this exercise and Schomburgk was appointed boundary commissioner with the task of surveying the boundaries of the colony. He did this between 1841 and 1843 returning to London in 1844 to be rewarded with a knighthood for his services. During much of his subsequent career until his death in 1865 he acted as a British consul first in Santo Domingo and then in Bangkok. | The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk / 1835–1844 / Volume I / Explorations on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society 1835–183
