A´Ishah al-Bacuniyah fue una de las más grandes eruditas en la historia islámica; poeta y escritora mí­stica y prolí­fica, compuso más obras en árabe que ninguna otra mujer antes del siglo XX. Este volumen bilingüe de poesí­a, editado y traducido al inglés por primera vez, relata la extraordinaria historia de devoción e iluminación mí­stica de A'ishah al-Bacuniyah, desafiando muchos estereotipos occidentales del Islam al presentar los pensamientos, sentimientos y preocupaciones de un musulmán educado. mujer. A´ishah al-Bacuniyah no escribe sobre el odio o la violencia, sino sobre su amor y anhelo por Dios y su profeta Muhammad. Estos poemas son una ventana al mundo de los demás y del yo. -
A´ishah al-Bacuniyah was one of the greatestí female scholars in Islamic history; a mystic and prolific poet and writer, she composed more works in Arabic than any other woman prior to the 20th century. This bilingual volume of poetry, edited and translated into English for the first time, recounts A´ishah al-Bacuniyah´s remarkable story of devotion and mystical illumination, challenging many Western stereotypes of Islam by presenting the thoughts, feelings, and concerns of an educated Muslim woman. A´ishah al-Bacuniyah does not write of hatred or violence, but of her love and longing for God and His prophet Muhammad. These poems are a window into the world of others and the self.

An okay edition of a useful text; really, two stars for the edition, which does almost nothing to put the book in context (i.e., why was it written, who read it, did anyone care after she died...), and five stars for the book itself, which is a very interesting and clever meditation on four themes, and makes it easy to understand how the paradoxes associated with sufism (and every other 'mystical' tradition) emerge naturally from thinking about religious matters.
