This book is one of two unique versions of one of Ibn al-Arabi's
masterworks: the Turjuman al-Ashwaq (The Discloser of Desires) and
his own commentary on it: Dhakhair al-Aalaq (The Precious
Repository). This great work by Ibn al-Arabi has always been
characterized by its bilateral nature; on the outer form it is
wonderful pure love poetry, yet it has a distinctive inner
interpretation on the spiritual and divine planes. This book has
been translated into English at least twice before, but the problem
is how to illustrate its two completely different sides at the same
time. Therefore, this innovative translation is executed in two
different modes; for the poems themselves the rhythmic style was
given the priority by concentrating on the sentiments the author
desired to disclose, while giving more variations and minutiae when
expounding them by translating Ibn al-Arabi's own commentaries and
also extensively linking with related concepts from his other
books. This first version is published under the title: "The
Discloser of Desires," which contains the Turjuman al-Ashwaq alone,
and the second takes the title: "The Precious Repository in
Expounding the Discloser of Desires," which contains Dhakhair
al-Aalaq fi sharh Turjuman al-Ashwaq, and both include an extensive
introduction to the book and to the Greatest Master Muhyiddin Ibn
al-Arabi. The abridged and illustrated version should be enough for
someone who only wants to enjoy reading this inspiring
chef-d'oeuvre, while the full version could be nominated to those
who would like to explore Ibn al-Arabi's immense knowledge and
prominent divine wisdom.
