Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by the author of A Short History of the Hebrew Text of the Old Testament, provides an English translation of a rare 16th-century Arabic text, The Shaikhs of Morocco in the XVIth Century, by T.H. Weir. The original Arabic text was written by Ibn Askar, a Moorish Boswell and contemporary of the shaikhs whose stories he tells. The book offers an unprecedented glimpse into the fascinating lives of the learned elite in 16th-century Morocco, known as Soofees or Mystics, and the everyday life in the region at that time. Their beliefs and practices shared much in common with the mystics of other countries and ages, yet were steeped in rich local culture and history. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Sufism, Morocco, or the history of religion in general.
