#Intisharat_e_mawla on #Enghelab in #Tehran which is currently shut has been at the forefront of publishing on #IslamicPhilosophy and #Mysticism especially through translations of major works 1/

One of their most prolific editors and translators was the #Zahabi author #MuhammadKhajavi (1934-2012) for his work on #MullaSadra and the #IbnArabiSchool google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hams… 2/

He translated the whole of the #Asfar as well as the #Tafsir and other works of #MullaSadra 3/

He also produced a wonderful translation of the school text #SharhFususalHikam of Dawud Qaysari along with a series of glosses by Jandi (d. c. 1300), Kashani (d. c. 1336), Ibn Turka (d. c. 1434), Jami (d. 1492) and the contemporary thinker Hasanzada Amuli 4/

Alongside these works he edited a number of #Zahabi works published either by the #Khanqah_e_Ahmadi in #Shiraz before the revolution or by #intisharat_e_mawla after such as this commentary on Qutb al-din Nayrizi (d. 1762) 5/

I’d forgotten but he also translated the whole of #FutuhatMakkiya as well

And the #MafatihalGhayb which is a wonderful study on the nature of revelation and the #homologies of the books of God, of nature and the microcosmic book of humanity - I have a grad student writing his doctoral dissertation on it
