Today a glittering prayer reaches us from 18th-century Isfahan: "O God! You are the First — nothing precedes You; You are the Last — nothing outlasts You; You are Manifest — nothing covers You; You are Within — there is nothing apart from You; And You are Forgiving, Merciful"

Today a glittering prayer reaches us from 18th-century Isfahan:

"O God!
You are the First — nothing precedes You;
You are the Last — nothing outlasts You;
You are Manifest — nothing covers You;
You are Within — there is nothing apart from You;
And You are Forgiving, Merciful"

This is a brief overview of my already published paper on Ashari mutakallim al-Baqillani's cumulative (of deductive type) argument for the existence of God. His argument cannot be classified within the insufficient conceptual framework of post-Kantian classifications of arguments

Just finished reading Pamuk's My Name is Red which I had somehow never read before and completely loved. The whole plot turns on the illustrations of horses in the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp, some of my all-time favourite paintings, which I have myself written about at some

🧵 The Quran frequently presents ruins rhetorically, showing the cyclical nature of history. Past nations rise, thrive, collapse, and leave traces. Columns, rock dwellings, overturned cities, and preserved ships are not passive, they argue. (1/10)

As a fan of Ibn Battuta -the great 14th c. traveler- I was thrilled to read his entire Rihla here, from Tangier to Beijing, packed with stories of places and people! This rare 18th c. manuscript probably from Morocco, is one of the few complete ones! Soon at Rim Enchères, Paris
