In this work a distinguished scholar of Islamic religion examines
the mysticism and psychological thought of the great
eleventh-century Persian philosopher and physician Avicenna (Ibn
Sina), author of over a hundred works on theology, logic, medicine,
and mathematics. Henry Corbin's discovery in an Istanbul library of
the manuscript of a Persian translation of and commentary on
Avicenna's Hayy ibn Yaqzan, written in Arabic, led him to an
analysis of three of Avicenna's mystical "recitals." These form an
initiatory cycle leading the adept along the path of spiritual
progress. In Part I Corbin summarizes the great themes that show
the philosophical situation of Avicennan man in the cosmos and
presents translations of these three great Avicennan recitals. Part
II is a complete translation, with notes, of the Persian
commentary. Originally published in 1960. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
