The teachings of A mad al-Ghaz l changed the course of Persian Sufism forever, paving the way for luminaries such as R m , A r, and fi . Yet he remains a poorly understood thinker, with many treatises incorrectly attributed to him and conflicting accounts in the historiographical literature. This work provides the first examination of A mad al-Ghaz l and his work in Western scholarly literature. Joseph E. B.
