The 4th-century corpus of writings known as the "Rasa'il Ikhwan al- Safa'" ("Epistles of the Brethren of Purity") occupies a unique place in the history of literature. Its authors, about whom little is known, conceived it as an encyclopaedia of philosophical sciences, covering nearly all fields of human knowledge and classified according to a progression towards the most ineffable wisdom. Chronicling their aims to reconcile reason and faith, the present survey provides a clear, unprejudiced and innovative survey of this great work.
