Originally published 1867. This volume describes not only the basic tenets of the Sufis but also the Ahl i wahdatwhich was a branch of Sufism. The author'¬"s use of a Persian manuscript treatise by '¬ÜAziz bin Mohammed Nafasi'¬" is an indispensable tool, particularly because the author did not merely translate it but gave a clearer and more succinct account of the system. The volume contains an Appendix containing a glossary of allegorical and technical terms in use among Sufiistic writers.
