Visualizing Sufism approaches the question of the presence of
graphic materials in Islamic mystical literature from a broad and
comprehensive perspective. To this goal, an international group of
specialists in the field worked on largely manuscript and
unpublished sources with the aim of analyzing the use of visual
elements in the works of some key figures of Islamic mysticism-Ibn
al-'Arabi, Ahmad al-Buni, Sa'd al-Din Hamuyeh, al-Sha'rani-, and in
intellectual networks-Hurufiyya and Bektashiyya, Shirin Maghribi
and his connections. The result is the most extensive collection of
specimens of Sufi graphic materials ever brought together and
discussed in a single volume. By virtue of the object of study
investigated in the chapters of this book, in addition to the
history of Sufism, questions are raised that touch upon numerous
areas in the field of Islamic Studies, including intellectual
history, codicology, and art history. Contributors Elizabeth R.
Alexandrin, Noah Gardiner, Ali Karjoo-Ravary, Evyn Kropf, Giovanni
Maria Martini, Orkhan Mir-Kasimov, and Sophie Tyser.
