Özet
Rustom’s insightful introduction is also helpful in contextualizing the book’s major themesand, given his ongoing research on the thought ofʿAyn al-Quḍāt, readers can expect to learneven more aboutʿAyn al-Quḍāt’s ideas and their afterlives.1Among such issues is the possibleinfluence of Ismaili ideas on his thought, which was used to justify his murder, or the possibleinfluence ofʿAyn al-Quḍāt on Persian Muslim thinkers such asʿAzīz al-Dīn Nasafī(d. thir-teenth century), who curiously composed a book bearing a similar title,Zubdat al-ḥaqāʾiq.Nasafīwas also quite familiar withʿAyn al-Quḍāt, whom he called in admiration thesultan of lovers (sulṭān al-ʿushshāq).2Learning more about such connections can furthershed light on the significance ofʿAyn al-Quḍāt in Islamic intellectual history. One thingthat can perhaps be taken care of in future editions is the relatively small English fontused, which slightly challenges the eye. All in all, however, Rustom’s new book is a masterfultranslation, superb critical edition and comprehensive guide to the thought of one of the mostprominent Muslim thinkers whose ideas are still fairly unknown in the literature.
