Reviews

The project team, led by the editor Nader el-Bizri, are to be congratulated for collecting the leading specialists on this important early corpus of texts to produce a work that will whet the appetite of those awaiting the editions and translations.
*Sajjad H. Rizvi, Journal of Islamic Studies*

The publications that are planned within this project will no doubt rekindle the interest of scholars and students of Islam in Islam's rich cultural, educational and historical legacy ... The work of the Ikhwan al-Safa, like many other works that make up the classical Muslim educational thought, need to be seriously studied and reflected upon. This new publication project contributes immensely towards realizing this educational aim.
*Abdullah Sahin, Muslim World Book Review - about Epistles of the Brethren of Purity series*
