About this book
Reynold A. Nicholson's English version of a Persian treatise by ‘Alí b. ‘Uthmán al-Hujwírí appeared in 1911 as volume 17 of the E. J. W. Gibb Memorial Series. The author was an eleventh-century scholar linked with Lahore, and the book is called the oldest Persian treatise on Sufism. It deals with the teachings and practices of the Sufis and with the earlier masters. Nicholson, then a lecturer in Persian at Cambridge, worked from the Lahore edition and compared manuscripts in the India Office and the British Museum.
