Livre Des Haltes (Kitab Al-Mawaqif), Tome Ii eBook

This second volume, out of three, contains the chapters 216 up to 320 of the alltogether 372 chapters. Based on the Dar al-yaqaza al-'arabiyya (1966-1967) and on the manuscript of the Library of Alger, this translation has taken into account the work accomplished by Michel Chodkiewicz (Editions du Seuil, 1982) and by A. Khurshid (Alif Editions, 1996). It deals with mystic comments on Qur'anic verses and prophetic translations inspired by Ibn 'Arabi's work. This volume also contains long comments on the Futuhat. Chapter 248 deals with the synthesis of Shaykh al-Akbar's view on the world, which helps to get an idea of this rather well organised vision, which is however often hard to understand.
