If this book allows us to discover exceptional men and women, it also introduces us to the most intimate aspects of the inner life of the one who was called al-shaykh al-akbar , the spiritual master par excellence. Here the most technical notions of Ibn ʿArabî's hagiology come to life and are fully embodied by beings living in detachment and simplicity. This work is therefore an indispensable complement to the doctrinal treatises of the great master that was Ibn ʿArabî.

If this book allows us to discover exceptional men and women, it also introduces us to the most intimate aspects of the inner life of the one who was called al-shaykh al-akbar , the spiritual master par excellence. Here the most technical notions of Ibn ʿArabî's hagiology come to life and are fully embodied by beings living in detachment and simplicity. This work is therefore an indispensable complement to the doctrinal treatises of the great master that was Ibn ʿArabî.
The faithful and elegant translation of Ralph WJ Austin as well as its rich introduction will allow the reader to be able to appreciate the beauty and the depth of the original text.
