La ejecución de al-Hallaj (1602)
byAl-Hallaj

Forty-six titles that give an idea of the breadth of his output: treatises on unity, light, extinction and subsistence, resurrection and prayer; Qur'anic commentaries; political works addressed to dignitaries such as the chamberlain Nasr al-Qushuri or the general al-Husayn ibn Hamdan. The bibliographer, who is hostile, also records the accusation that he claimed to be divine. None of these works survives as such.
