<p>This book is a comprehensive historical overview of the formative period of Sufism, the major mystical tradition in Islam, from the ninth to the twelfth century CE. Based on a fresh reading of the primary sources and integrating the findings of recent scholarship on the subject, the author presents a unified narrative of Sufism’s historical development within an innovative analytical framework. Karamustafa gives a new account of the emergence of mystical currents in Islam during the ninth century and traces the rapid spread of Iraq-based Sufism to other regions of the Islamic world and its fusion with indigenous mystical movements elsewhere, most notably the Malr cultural context</p>

<p>This paper identifies several problems with the use of the term "Pāla International Style" and similar classifications of Tibetan art from the 12th to 14th centuries. Other attempts to classify the art of this period, based on patronage or geography, are also not without their shortcomings, particularly as more pieces of early Inner Asian art emerge and are studied.
