Description: Islamicate Occult Sciences in Theory and Practice presents the latest research on Islamic occult sciences from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, namely intellectual history, manuscript studies and material culture.
Review Quotes: "In many ways, this is the most important single publication on Islamic occult sciences in several years. Much can be said in praise of the collection: [...] The articles are mostly thorough, and their bibliographies are extensive and useful tools for anyone interested in these topics. The research is based on a very good use of primary sources, which are not always easy to understand. [...] this volume is a must for scholars working in the field, and it makes major steps forward in our understanding of Islamic occult sciences."
Jaakko Hämeen-Anttila in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations (2022).
"The volume is a pioneering contribution both in regard to the individual papers, but also in regard to the overall subject. Consequently, it will open up new avenues for further research, having established many junctures with other disciplines dealing with the European but also the West and South Asian history of religions."
Franz Winter in Religious Studies Review (2022).
