`A'ishah al-Ba`uniyyah (–1517)

An okay edition of a useful text; really, two stars for the edition, which does almost nothing to put the book in context (i.e., why was it written, who read it, did anyone care after she died...), and five stars for the book itself, which is a very interesting and clever meditation on four themes, and makes it easy to understand how the paradoxes associated with sufism (and every other 'mystical' tradition) emerge naturally from thinking about religious matters.
