Penned by the seventh-\/thirteenth-century North African scholar and Sufi poet ʿAfīf al-Dīn al-Tilimsānī, \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Names\u003c\/i\u003e expounds upon the one hundred and forty-six names of God that appear in the Qurʾan, including The All-Merciful, The Powerful, The First, and The Last. In his treatment of each divine name, al-Tilimsānī synthesizes and compares the views of three influential earlier authors, al-Bayhaqī, al-Ghazālī, and Ibn Barrajān. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAl-Tilimsānī famously described his two teachers Ibn al-ʿArabī and al-Qūnawī as a \"philosophizing mystic\" and a \"mysticizing philosopher,\" respectively. Picking up their mantle, al-Tilimsānī merges mysticism and philosophy, combining the tenets of Akbarī Sufism with the technical language of Aristotelian, Neoplatonic, and Avicennan philosophy as he explains his logic in a rigorous and concise way. Unlike Ibn al-ʿArabī, his overarching concern is not to examine the names as correspondences between God and creation, but to demonstrate how the names overlap at every level of cosmic existence. \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Names\u003c\/i\u003e shows how a broad range of competing theological and philosophical interpretations can all contain elements of the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn English-only edition.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eʿAfīf al-Dīn al-Tilimsānī (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eʿAfīf al-Dīn al-Tilimsānī\u003c\/b\u003e (d. 690\/1291) was a North African scholar and Sufi poet who studied under the influential Andalusian mystic Ibn al-ʿArabī.
