The Passion of al-Hallaj
La Passion d'al-Hosayn-ibn-Mansour al-Hallaj, martyr mystique de l'Islam (Louis Massignon)
A monumental study of al-Hallaj's life, work, doctrine and posterity, the fruit of fifty years of research. Massignon presents him as the mystic martyr of Islam and gathers sources from every language of the Islamic world; the Encyclopædia Iranica considers it indispensable, though partly interpretive owing to the author's spiritual involvement.
