Abstract
The article provides an edition of the shorter version of al-Qušayrī’s Naḥw al-qulūb, based on the apparently oldest manuscript, preserved in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Ms. or. oct. 3805). This treatise represents a serious attempt to present Ṣūfī thoughts in a form analogous to an acknowledged science which had been then on the curriculum of teaching institutions for a long time. Naturally, the seriousness of the attempt does not mean that it may be considered fully successful as well. It is, however, worth studying since it reflects many interesting basic features of Ṣūfī thinking and their way of linguistic expression.
