Abdollah Ibn Ali Ibn Mohammad
Ibn Yahya Abu-Nasr Saraj Tusi a.k.a. “The Peacock of The Paupers” lived
around the 4th century of Islam 900 (CE). His seminal work in Sufism
called “Al-Loma’ Fel Tasawwuf” or “Glitter of Sufism” is perhaps
amongst the first compilations of Sufi teachings, thoughts and
practices into book form.
Reynold Alleyne Nicohlson has
translated this work into English (from Arabic) around 1914. The book
again is has been translated from Arabic into Farsi recently which is
the manuscript used in this presentation. The reason the effort was
duplicated was due to the fact that 1) Mr. Nicholson made a critical
translation 2) He removed all the research & references again a
typical trait of the orientalists then & now.
