Lot Essay

According to Brockelmann al-Shahrazuri wrote only three works on philosophy and sufism: Nuzhat al-arwah, Rawdat al-afrah wa nuzha't al-arwah and al-Shajarah al-ilahiyah fi ‘ulum al-haqa’iq al-rabbaniyah, an indication that copies of his works can be considered very rare.

See Brocklemann, GAL I. 469; S. I, 851.
