On Geography
An Arabic Edition and English Translation of Epistle 4
This is the first critical edition of Epistle 4 of the Brethren of Purity (Ikhwan al-Safa'), a tenth-century esoteric fraternity based in Basra and Baghdad. It offers a glimpse into medieval geographical and cosmological views in the Islamic world, and into the Ikhwans' understanding of science as a method to decipher the signs of God's creation.
