Know Yourself – November 2011This is a new translation of a classic work, terse, essential, an encouragement to see oneself in an unlimited mirror. The original English translation by T.H. Weir (published by Beshara Publications as Whoso Knoweth Himself) has been hugely valuable, but its language, using the "thee"s and "thou"s of the King James Bible, has increasingly become a block to many readers. This is a rendering in modern English which opens up new aspects of the book even for those long familiar with it. It was the first complete work attributed to Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi to appear in a Western language. The earlier translation (by T.H. Weir in 1901) has been instrumental in making Ibn 'Arabi's name known in the West over the last century, even though the author of the book is now considered by many scholars to be Awhad al-din Balyani, a near contemporary, who may well have been influenced by Ibn 'Arabi's thought. |
