Inscriptions of Wisdom brings together, for the first time in English, two pivotal Sufi texts that illuminate Ibn al-¿Arabi's (d. 1240) celebrated work Fu¿u¿ al-¿ikam. The first, Naqsh al-Fu¿u¿ (the Inscription of the Fu¿u¿), is Ibn al-¿Arabi's own distillation of Fu¿u¿ al-¿ikam, presenting a concise yet profound articulation of its core teachings. The second, Naqd al-nu¿u¿ fi shar¿ Naqsh al-Fu¿u¿ (texts commenting on Naqsh al-Fu¿u¿), by ¿Abd al-Räman Jami, is an anthology of carefully selected passages from the earliest and most authoritative interpreters of Fu¿u¿ al-¿ikam, enriched with Jami's own insights. Together, these works explore the quintessential knowledge and divine principles embodied by each of the twenty-seven major prophetic figures of the Islamic tradition, from Adam to Muhammad. If Fu¿u¿ al-¿ikam represents the culmination of Ibn al-¿Arabi's thought, then Naqsh al-Fu¿u¿ distills its very essence and inner mystery. Mukhtar H. Ali's meticulous presentation of the Fu¿u¿ al-¿ikam commentarial tradition-featuring the first complete English translation of Jami's Naqd al-nu¿u¿, chapter-by-chapter analysis, and extensive notes on key Sufi terms and concepts-establishes this volume as a landmark study in Islamic metaphysics and Sufi thought.
