The thirteenth century was a vibrant age for Sufism when myriad strands of Islamic mysticism flourished as exemplified by the speculative thought of Ibn Arabi and the poetic subtlety of Jalal al Din Rumi. Aziz Nasafi was also of this period of growth and diversity and composed several major works that are distinctive in their clarity and simplicity, but has attracted little attention from scholars hitherto. Lloyd Ridgeon has redressed this imbalance with his new study which shows Nasafi and his legacy in a new light. Nasafi's works are of particular interest because they contain valuable descriptions of the different Islamic world views of the age. Dr Ridgeon has included substantial extracts from Aziz Nasafi's books to help illuminate this perceptive study of a neglected figure in the pantheon of Sufi thinkers.
