4to (167 x 226 mm). Arabic manuscript on paper. 181 ff. (foliated 1-180, leaf 68 counted twice). Black naskh script. Modern burgundy leather with fore-edge flap, gilt medallions. A much-beloved Sufi text, originally written in the 13th century by the Persian theologian and mystic 'Umar ibn Muhammad al-Suhrawardi (ca. 1145-1234), himself the nephew of the founder of the Suhrawardiyya order of Sufism. The Suhrawardiyya school was especially prominent in India and Ilkhanate Iran for a time, and today continues to garner followers in Iraq. This is Suhrawardiyya Sufism's most famous text, and one of the most popular works on Sufism throughout Muslim history. Despite this, it is difficult to find this work outside the Muslim world, especially in translation. The present manuscript is, per the scribe's notes in the colophon, an "honorable and correct" copy, with an audition certificate stating that it was prepared from a copy that was copied from a copy "read to the author". - Penned in a tidy hand. Light worming and dampstaining, leaves "71-78" loosened, leaf 11 missing lower half, otherwise quite well preserved. - F. Sobieroj, "Suhrawardiyya", in: Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd ed., ed. by P. Bearman et al.…
