Current Status

Volume 1 (Books 1 & 2 of the final 37) was published in hardback (696 pages) by Pir Press in March 2019. Volume 1 has an introduction “for the uninitiated”. You will probably see immediately why people have spent decades reading Ibn al-ʿArabī and are still not sated but thirst for more!

Volume 2 (Books 3 & 4) is printed, but the book distribution site in New York is closed owing to the Covid-19 restrictions currently in place.

Volume 3 (Books 5 & 6) is print-ready but awaits resumption of business in South Korea.

Volume 4 (Books 7 & 8) has been edited and awaits typesetting.

Volume 5 (Books 9 & 10) is currently being edited.

Volumes 6 (Books 11 & 12) and 7 (Books 13 & 14) are pre-print drafts now being revised by Dr. Winkel in preparation for final editing.
