The Darvishes or Oriental Spiritualism

More about the book

This is an invaluable contribution to the study of the Belief and spiritual principles of the Darvish Orders and is perhaps one of the most rare (if not the only) and most accurate reference work on the subject. Drawn exclusively from the original Oriental works, and from Turkish, Arabic, and Persian MSS., the originality and authenticity of the works beyond doubt. This illustrated volume combines his research into Darvish doctrines and history, with an account of the spiritual and metaphysical significance of Sufism as a living tradition.
