Description

Description from OpenAlex (opens in a new tab)

What are the topics of the mysterious, occult sciences and how are they to be understood? These important questions were thoroughly discussed by renowned Muslim philosophers. This study shows how they dealt with the contents of occult teachings and, in a second step, examines the role of philosophy in a famous Arabic grimoire from the 4th/10th century. The monograph is addressed to all those who are interested in the history of the occult sciences in the Islamic world and beyond.
