The Interpreter of Secrets is a critical edition of the collected poetry of Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Ḥasan al-Bakrī al-Ṣiddīqī (930-94/1524-86), an influential Cairene jurist, man of letters, and Sufi. Most of the poems included in this edition, which is based on twelve manuscripts, deal with Sufi themes including mystical love, the cult of the saints, and al-Bakrī's claim to be the axial saint of his age. This work will be of interest to scholars of Arabic literature, Sufism, and Ottoman intellectual history.
