In this unique biographical account, edited and published here for the first time, Muḥammad Kamāl al-Dīn al-Ghazzī (1760-1799), the chief Shafi'i jurisconcult of Damascus, introduces us to one of the leading figures of early modernity, 'Abd al-Ghanī al-Nābulusī (1641-1731). Being al-Nābulusī's great grandson, al-Ghazzī had direct access to the family's collective memory through his parents and grandparents, as well as to his great grandfather's scattered memoirs. Written about fifty years after al-Nābulusī's death, al-Ghazzī's biography, al-Wird al-Unsī, remains the authoritative account of the great master's distinguished career, covering many aspects of his life and work in breadth, depth, and sophistication unmatched by any of the competing biographies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samer Akkach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004211411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004211414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.40w x 1.90d","brand":"Samer Akkach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437390704895,"sku":"9789004211414","price":274.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c6c6017-6beb-4516-8855-04764ff37628.jpg?v=1777161496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intimate-invocations-samer-akkach-9789004211414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
