[فصوص الحكم]

Ibn al-ʻArabī's metaphysical treatise in 27 chapters composed in 1226 in Damascus, accompanied by a short (incomplete?) glossary of Sufi terms. The latter is (loosely) arranged in alphabetical order, starts with al-alif, al-ittiḥād, aḥadīyat al-jamʻ etc., the terms covered correspond to the terms contained in Iṣṭilāḥāt al-Sūfīyah by ʻAbd al-Razzāq al-Qāshānī, but there are much fewer of them and although some of the wording of the explanations is similar to that used by Qāshānī, the text nevertheless differs. 99, i leaves : paper ; 185 x 137 (125 x 90) mm. bound to 185 x 145 mm.
