Ikhwān al-Ṣafāʼ

übersetzt, und mit einer Abhandlung über diesen Orden, so wie mit Anmerkungen versehen, von F. Dieterici.

Ein arabisches Märchen aus den Schriften der Lautern Brüder in Basra, im Urtext herausgegeben und mit einem Glossar versehen von F. Dieterici.

"How current this tenth century tale is for both the young and old of today! It addresses environmental and animal rights issues with charming efficacy. A Muslim Sufi work of 10th century Iraq, translated by a rabbi into Hebrew, and rendered into Latin for a Christian king is now translated from the popular Hebrew version by Jews into English, edited by a Christian and illustrated exquisitely by a Muslim woman from India under the patronage of a Saudi princess. This is a true interfaith and multi-cultural title!" "In this fable, eloquent representatives of all members of the Animal Kingdom-from horses to bees-come before the respected Spirit King to complain of the dreadful treatment they have suffered at the hands of humankind. During the ensuing trial, where both humans and animals testify before the king, both sides argue their points ingeniously, deftly illustrating the validity of both sides of the ecology debate. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
