“Al-Muqaddasi : revelation of the secrets of the birds and flowers”—cover title.
“First published 1980 ; reprinted 1987”—reverse of title page.
“A most important Sufi document, written by Muqaddasi, who died seven hundred years ago. The work is a religious psychology dealing with three phenomena : (1) the way in which communities think and the results of emotionality and narrow beliefs ; (2) the shifting consciousness of the individual ; and (3) the strengths and weaknesses of simplistic and sophisticated mental postures. It is astonishingly ‘modern’ in its approach, once its terminology is understood”—back cover.
