Awhad Al-Din Kirmani and the Controversy of the Sufi Gaze

Summary

This is the first monograph in any Western language about the life and controversy of a 13th century Persian Sufi called Awhad al-Din Kirmani. The aim of the book is to place Kirmani within the context of 13th century Persianate Sufism, and demonstrate that the controversy shows that Sufism in this period was not a fixed or essentialised reality.
