Magic -- Occultism -- Religious aspects -- Islam -- Congresses

This volume examines the occult sciences and their context within the body of scientific knowledge in pre-modern Islamic cultures. The chapters explore the relationships between the phenomena of nature and the supernatural arcana as accounted for in arithmology, physiognomy, astrology, divination, geomancy, lettrism, alchemy, magic, and gnosis. The spectrum of analytic approaches in the studies that are set in the chapters of this volume vary in terms of their methodological directives in historiography, philology, and epistemology. However, they cumulatively reveal the complex nuances in thought that situated the occultist practice within the sphere of science in the pre-modern Islamic milieu.
