The importance of the work of Don Miguel Asín Palacios and his forerunner role in the studies of thought, religion, philosophy, mystique and comparative literature on Arabic and Spanish-Muslim themes have been recognized at all times, but over time the figure of this odd researcher grows, who opened paths and lines of study that have served as a guideline to those who have served as a guideline to those who have served as a guideline for those who , after him, they have been concerned about this subject.
This book brings together three fundamental studies between those written by Assen: Ibn Masarra and his school, which he read as an entry speech to the Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in 1914; The mystic Abu-l-'Abbas ibn al-'Arif of Almeria and his "Mahasim al-Mayalis", written as a prologue to the French edition of that text; and, finally, a Spanish-Muslim forerunner of San Juan de la Cruz, working with which al-Andalus magazine began in 1933.
With the re-editing of these works, exhausted and impossible to find years ago, Ediciones Hiperión continues its work of recovering the work of Don Miguel Asín Palacios, fundamental in our intellectual landscape.
