Karamustafa bases this study on a fresh reading of the primary sources and, by integrating the findings of recent scholarship on the subject, presents a unified narrative of Sufisms historical development. His innovative analytical framework reveals the emergence of mystical currents in Islam during the ninth century and traces the rapid spread of Iraq-based Sufism to other regions of the Islamic world, providing an integrated, comprehensive understanding of one of the most compelling aspects of late antique, early medieval Islamic religious history.\n\nCopub: Edinburgh University Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44990024843317,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520252691","price":225.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520252691_eca71b81-f671-4825-8d6d-f833d65565e2.jpg?v=1778968763","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sufism-the-formative-period-9780520252691","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
