Studies in Early Mysticism in the Near and Middle East is a scholarly book written by Margaret Smith that delves into the origins and development of mysticism in the Near and Middle East. The book explores the mystical traditions of various religions, including Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, and examines the ways in which these traditions have influenced each other over time. Smith draws on a wide range of primary sources, including mystical texts, poetry, and art, to provide a comprehensive overview of early mysticism in the region. The book also discusses the role of gender in mysticism, and how women have contributed to the development of mystical traditions. Overall, Studies in Early Mysticism in the Near and Middle East provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the complex history of mysticism in this important region of the world.1931. These studies represent an attempt to show the relationship between the rise and development of a mystical element in Islam, that which we know as Sufism, and the mysticism which was already to be found within the Christian church of the Near and Middle East at the time when the Arab power established itself as a political force of far-reaching extent, and at a period when the faith of Islam was in the process of development and formulation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
