Abstract

Book Reviews 113 roughly the same time period. For an explanation of the varied connotations of hikma we must still turn to Franz Rosenthal’s Knowledge Triumphant: The Concept of Knowledge in Medieval Islam (Leiden: Brill, 2006), which examines each Sufi manual separately and investigates the differences between them. Rosenthal’s research provided a clear argument for how and why Sufi manuals treat the notion of knowledge differently and created opportunities for further investigation. While Yaman’s work is carefully prepared and thorough in its approach, it may leave the reader wanting more in terms of analysis. That said, it is a useful addition to the field and a portal for future scholars to explore the theory of knowledge in Islam, both within and outside the confines of Sufi literature.
