Legacy Of Mediaeval Persian Sufism

Unlike other studies in English on Sufism, these two volumes offer an unprecedented range of disciplines and breadth of subject matter. These classic texts are in particular demand in university undergraduate and postgraduate courses on religious studies, Islamic studies, Middle Eastern studies and classical Persian literature. The virtually unrivaled historical scope and philosophical range of themes in these volumes make them highly relevant to our modern society in which religious pluralism is a fact of life and where, by the year 2010, Islam will be the second largest religion in both Europe and the United States.
