拍品专文

The Kimiya-yi Sa'adat is a popular abridgement of the author's comprehensive work, Ihya 'Ulum al-Din which was composed in the last five years of his life. The text has a clear Sufi approach and is divided into a preface and four books, each of which are called rukn. Another copy of the work is in the Wellcome Institute (Fateme Keshavarz, A Descriptive and Analytical Catalogue of Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London 1986, p. 527, no. 355).
