Quest for the Red Sulphur: The Life of Ibn Arabi is undoubtedly a landmark in Ibn Arabi studies. Until the publication of this book; anyone who wanted to learn about the life of Ibn Arabi has had little choice of material to work from. This major study by Claude Addas is based on a detailed analysis of a whole range of Ibn Arabi's own writings as well as a vast amount of secondary literature in both Arabic and Persian. The result is the first-ever attempt to reconstruct what proves to have been a double itinerary: on the one hand; the journey that took Ibn Arabi from his native Andalusia to Damascus - and on the other hand; the 'Night Journey' which carried him along the paths of asceticism and prayer to the ultimate stage of revelation of his mystic quest.

Excellent resource with great photographs and great historical facts.By frugalgirlA great book that sums up the history of the famous landmarks in and around the Chimayo area in New Mexico. We recently visited and were in awe of the rich visual religious history; but now with this great book by Elizabeth Kay I know more about what I experienced and the native people's history as well as the geographical connection of the area. I loved all the old pictures that are in this book that captivate the long history of pilgrimage and respect for this land. A great read and resource for our family library.
