REVIEW: This volume presents Ibn Barrajan's highly personal interpretation of select verses of the Qur'an in two
manuscripts in Arabic. It brings together his doctrines, teachings, and the intersection of Sufism and Muslim
mysticism in medieval Andalusia. To aid the reader the Idah is arranged by paragraphs with a number assigned to
each in continuous order. Ten chapters are under the heading of Ibn Barrajan: his life and work: Al-andalus in the
time of Ibn Barrajan; the sources for Ibn Barrajan's life and work; two stages in Ibn Barrajan's life: Muhaddith and
Mu'tabir; students of Ibn Barrajan; Ibn Barrajan's death; the principal works of Ibn Barrajan; the Idah al-hikma bi-
ahkam al-ibra; composition and exegetical approach of Idah al hikma; the central teachings of Idah al-hikma;
technical observations about the Arabic text edition. There is a list of figures, plates, a bibliography, relevant
sources in European languages, and relevant sources in Arabic. (© Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
