Rabi'a from Narrative to Myth
Rabi'a from Narrative to Myth (Rkia Elaroui Cornell)
The most thorough study of Rabia: it examines more primary sources than any previous work to separate what can be historically affirmed from the successive constructions of her figure (the teacher, the ascetic, the lover, the Sufi) and reconstructs the development of early asceticism and mysticism in Basra.
