Revelation of The Secrets of The Birds And Flowers
Al Muqaddasi
TRANSLATED BY IRENE HOARE AND DARYA GALY
Consisting of four different manuscripts, published 19th century Paris, in Arabic and French, this book is reputedly the finalisation of a corpus of material which had been begun in far earlier times. It contains a number of Sufi technical phrases, and shows how certain varieties of Sufi literature were projected in such a way as both to accord with orthodox religion of the Islamic persuasion, and also to maintain concepts which are rarely emphasised in formal religion.
