Studies the life and works of ʿAbd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi, a Damascene scholar and Sufi (1641-1731), showing that he was more than a mystic: through unpublished biographical sources and works, the author argues that al-Nabulusi was involved in early expressions of rationalism in the Islamic world and helped signal beginnings of modernity and “Islamic Enlightenment”.
