An attractive Qajar-period copy of Mull adr 's celebrated synthesisal-Hikma al-muta liyathe foundational text of the later Iranian seminarian curriculum, prized not only for its doctrinal significance (primacy and gradation of existence, substantial motion) but also for its reception history in nineteenth-century Iran. Finely preserved illuminated sets from this period, in such condition, are uncommon on the market. Biography: Mull Sadr (Sadr al-D n Muhammad Sh r z , 1571/721640) was the most influential intellectual figure of the late Safavid period, remembered not only as a thinker but as the founder of the school of al-hikma al-muta liya, or Transcendent Theosophy. Born in Shiraz, he received his early training under prominent teachers in Isfahan, most notably M r D m d and Shaykh Bah al-D n al- mil (Shaykh Bah ). This Isfahan period introduced him to the traditions of Avicennian peripateticism, Suhraward 's Illuminationism, and the metaphysics of Ibn Arab , all of which he would later weave into his own synthesis. After years of study, Sadr withdrew to the village of Kahak near Qom for a period of seclusion and ascetic practice. There he combined rigourous scholarship with spiritual discipline, producing early drafts of his later works and cultivating the view that intellectual activity must be inseparable from inner purification. Eventually he returned to public life in Shiraz, where he was appointed to teach at the Madrasa-yi Kh n, an institution founded under Safavid patronage. During this later phase he composed the works that secured his intellectual legacy. In addition to his vast al-Asf r al-Arba a, he wrote shorter treatises such as al-Mash ir (The Book of Metaphysical Prehensions), al-Shaw hid al-rub biyya (The Divine Witnesses), and several Qur nic commentaries and eschatological treatises, including his celebrated discussion of bodily resurrection (al-hashr). These writings reveal not only his metaphysical commitmentsthe primacy and gradation of existence, the doctrine of substantial motion, and the unity of the intellect and intelligiblebut also his conviction that true philosophy culminates in spiritual ascent and visionary knowledge. Mull Sadr died in Basra in 1640 while on pilgrimage to Mecca, leaving behind an intellectual system that reshaped the philosophical landscape of Iran and the broader Islamic world. His works were copied extensively during the Qajar period, ensuring their survival and embedding them into the curricula of Shi i seminaries. Even today, the Asf r remains central to advanced study in Qom and elsewhere, while modern scholarship has secured his place not only in Islamic intellectual history but also in global philosophical discourse. Mull Sadr 's biography thus reflects a life devoted to bridging rational inquiry, mystical experience, and theological reflection, a synthesis that continues to inform debates on metaphysics, psychology, and eschatology. The Transcendent Theosophy in the Four Journeys of the Intellect (al-Asf r al-Arba'a) Mull Sadr 's al-Hikma al-Muta liya f al-Asf r al- Aqliyya al-Arba acommonly called the Asf r or "Four Journeys"is both his magnum opus and the architectonic expression of his hikma, or transcendent wisdom. Written and revised over several decades, it serves simultaneously as an encyclopaedic synthesis and a spiritual itinerary: the intellect's gradual passage through ontology, cosmology, theology, and anthropology. Structured around four symbolic "journeys," the text explores, in sequence, the nature of being and its modalities, the constitution of the cosmos through substance and accident, the divine names and attributes, and finally the human soul in its genesis, development, death, and return. More than a mere summa of antecedent traditions, the Asf r reframes Avicennian, Illuminationist, and mystical doctrines within an experiential metaphysics in which rational argumentation, spiritual unveiling, and scriptural revelation converge. Among the most influential doctrines articulated in the Asf r is the principle of the primacy of existence (as lat al-wuj d), which asserts that existence is ontologically fundamental and essences are only conceptual abstractions. This reorients the metaphysical project away from essentialism and grounds it in wuj d as a single but graded reality. Closely related is Sadr 's teaching on the modulation or gradation of being (tashk k al-wuj d), whereby existence is analogically one yet admits of intensification and diminution across levels of reality. A further cornerstone is the doctrine of substantial motion (al-haraka al-jawhariyya), which extends change from accidents into substances themselves, reimagining nature as an ongoing process and providing the basis for the soul's substantial growth toward higher intensities of being. The epistemological correlate of these doctrines is the unity of the intellect and the intelligible, according to which knower and known coincide in act during genuine intellection, a view that supports the ascent staged throughout the Asf r. The method of the work is both synthetic and dialogical. Avicenna supplies metaphysical scaffolding, Suhraward contributes the ontology of light.…
