The Seal of the Saints

- Prophethood and Sainthood in the Doctrine of Ibn Arabi

Bag om The Seal of the Saints

Ibn ''Arabi, born in 1165 in Andalusia and died in 1240 in Damascus, was recognised in his lifetime as al-Shaykh al-Akbar, the supreme spiritual Master. Over a period of eight centuries he has exerted a profound influence on Islamic mysticism. In recent years a number of important studies have helped acquaint the Western reader with Ibn ''Arabi''s metaphysics and this process is now greatly enhanced by the present volume, in which Michael Chodkiewicz explores for the first time the Master''s ''hagiology'' or teaching on sainthood. Founded on a careful analysis of the relevant texts, Chodkiewicz''s work examines this essential aspect of Ibn ''Arabi''s doctrine of sainthood, defining the nature and function of sainthood, while also specifying the criteria for a typology of saints based on the notion of prophetic inheritance.

Beskrivelse af The Seal of the Saints

Ibn ''Arabi, born in 1165 in Andalusia and died in 1240 in Damascus, was recognised in his lifetime as al-Shaykh al-Akbar, the supreme spiritual Master. Over a period of eight centuries he has exerted a profound influence on Islamic mysticism.
In recent years a number of important studies have helped acquaint the Western reader with Ibn ''Arabi''s metaphysics and this process is now greatly enhanced by the present volume, in which Michael Chodkiewicz explores for the first time the Master''s ''hagiology'' or teaching on sainthood. Founded on a careful analysis of the relevant texts, Chodkiewicz''s work examines this essential aspect of Ibn ''Arabi''s doctrine of sainthood, defining the nature and function of sainthood, while also specifying the criteria for a typology of saints based on the notion of prophetic inheritance.
