Ibn al-ʿArabī’s Kitāb Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam wa-Khuṣūṣ al-Kalim
Although the exemplar of the Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam has mysteriously disappeared shortly after its composition, the earliest copy in al-Qūnawī’s hand has survived. Having been collated with the orginal, read in front of Ibn al-ʿArabī, and signed by him, it stands as the vetustissimus and optimus. This edition is established on its reading and is checked against ʿAfīfī’s classic. Besides a fully vocalized text, it provides an appended facsimile of the manuscript. The introductory section is the first comprehensive study that tracks the whole story of the manuscript and attempts to identify possible scattered traces of the lost original. It reviews attitudes towards the text, as well as a century of scholarly research on it, and illustrates key concepts of the Master’s doctrine to help contextualize the book contents.
Ibn `Arabī's Mystical Poetics
Muhyī l-Dīn Ibn `Arabī (1165-1240) was a hugely influential figure in the development of Sufism, yet although interest in his work continues to grow, his poetry has received very little attention. This book is the first full-length monograph devoted to his Dīwān (collected poems). It begins by attempting to define Ibn `Arabī's poetic style and his understanding of poetics, which is closely intertwined with his metaphysics: the rhythms of poetry echo those of creation, and meaning combines with form just as the spirit descends on matter. Drawing on a pre-Islamic theme, he insists that his poetry was revealed to him word for word by a spirit. At the same time, however, his attitude to th...
Of Lost Cities
The poetic memorialization of the Maghribī city illuminates the ways in which exilic Maghribī poets constructed idealized images of their native cities from the ninth to nineteenth centuries CE. The first work of its kind in English, Of Lost Cities explores the poetics and politics of elegiac and nostalgic representations of the Maghribī city and sheds light on the ingeniously indigenous and indigenously ingenious manipulation of the classical Arabic subgenres of city elegy and nostalgia for one’s homeland. Often overlooked, these poems – distinctively Maghribī, both classical and vernacular, and written in Arabic and Tamazight – deserve wider recognition in the broader tradition a...

Hakikatin İzinde
İnanç tartışmaları artık hayatımızın merkezince yer alıyor. Pek çok kişi bilim, akıl ve mantık yoluyla insanı ateizme götürecek yeterli delile ulaşabileceğine inanıyor. Özellikle gençler arasında ateizm, büyük bir hızla yayılıyor. Üstelik artık birçok kişi, din ve bilimin taban tabana zıt olduğunu, hatta inançta akla yer olmadığını düşünüyor. Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, ilk kez Türkçeye çevrilen kitabında tam da bu tartışmaların üzerinden gidiyor. Ateizmin iddialarını reddeden Tzortzis; Hakikatin İzinde olan insanlar için akıl, mantık ve bilim çerçevesinde bir pusula sunuyor. Ateizmi ve onun farklı görünümleri diyebileceğimiz “inanma biçimlerini” inceleyen Tzortzis, Kur’an’da sunulan varlık delillerini anlatmanın ötesine geçerek inançla ilgili soyut konuları da işliyor. Birçok karmaşık meseleyi soğukkanlılıkla ele alarak anlaşılabilir bir basitlikte sunuyor. Hakikatin İzinde, inançlı olsun olmasın; gerek kendi içerisinde gerek toplum içinde ateizmle yüzleşmiş kişiler için biçilmiş bir kaftan. Hem ateistlerin, hem inançlıların okuması gereken bir başucu kitabı.
Knowing God: Ibn ʿArabī and ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Qāshānī’s Metaphysics of the Divine
Can we know God or does he reside beyond our ken? In Ibn ʿArabī and ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Qāshānī’s Metaphysics of the Divine, Ismail Lala conducts a forensic analysis of the nature of God and His interaction with creation. Looking mainly at the exegetical works of the influential mystic, Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn ʿArabī (d. 638/1240), and one of his chief disseminators, ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Qāshānī (d. 736/1335?), Lala employs the term huwiyya, literally “He-ness,” as an aperture into the metaphysical worldview of both mystics. Does Al-Qāshānī agree with Ibn ʿArabī’s conception of God? Does he agree with Ibn ʿArabī on how God relates to us and how we relate to Him? Or is this where Sufi master and his disciple part ways?
Le Grand Diwan
De l'oeuvre poétique d'Ibn 'Arabî, seul est connu en français son superbe Interprète des désirs, que « le plus grand des maîtres » commenta lui-même. On ignore souvent qu'il a en outre composé deux immenses recueils poétiques ou Dîwâns, pourtant très célèbres dans le monde arabe. C'est du premier d'entre eux, le « Grand Dîwân », que sont extraits les quarante-cinq poèmes traduits et commentés dans ce volume. Poèmes mystiques où se mêlent images cosmiques et descriptions charnelles, où Dieu et l'homme se rapprochent jusqu'à parfois échanger leurs rôles, ils nous initient à une vision du monde par-delà les voiles des conventions sociales et religieuses. Omar Hammami et Patricia Mons, poètes arabisants, nous donnent les clés de lecture de ces textes envoutants qui méritent pleinement leur place aux côtés des autres oeuvres du grand maître de la mystique andalouse.
