Reviews

“The quality of editing of the Arabic text, by Muhammad Hadi Gerami, is to be praised. He has done a tremendous amount of work to make the text accessible to a wider readership. The indexes are prepared meticulously and facilitate use of the edited text. All in all, Gerami’s edition of Ḥikmat al-ʿārifīn is a major contribution to the history of intellectual and political life in Safavid Iran.” Kioumars Ghereghlou, in the Journal of the American Oriental Society 140/2 (2020)
