This is a fascinating and ground-breaking analysis of the extent to
which various major Sufi figures contributed to the mystical
philosophy of Ibn al-'Arabi. While recent scholarship has tended to
concentrate on his teachings and life, little attention has so far
been paid to the influences on his thought. Each chapter is
dedicated to one of Ibn al-'Arabi's predecessors, from both the
early and later periods, such as al-Bistami, al-Hallaj and
al-Jilani, showing how he is discussed in the works of the
'Greatest Master' and Ibn al-'Arabi's attitude towards him. As
Abrahamov makes clear, Ibn al-'Arabi was greatly influenced by the
early Sufis as regards his philosophy and by the later Sufis in
matters of practice. This naturally raises the question: How
original was Ibn al-'Arabi's teachings?
