This is the first major study in a Western language of Rashid al-Din Maybudi’s Persian commentary on the Noble Qur’an, Kashf al-asrar wa ‘uddat al-abrar (Unveiling of Mysteries and Provision of the Righteous). The book explores how hermeneutics and doctrine interact in the writing of a Sufi commentary on the Qur’an and introduces an important Persian tafsir to new audiences.
Previously little known outside the Persian-speaking world, Maybudi’s Kashf al-asrar is today recognised as a work of considerable significance not only for an understanding of the development of Sufi hermeneutics, but also as a treasury of Sufi lore
