This volume presents Epistles 43-45 of the Epistles of the Brethren of Purity, some of the richest and most diverse texts in the corpus. They include anecdotes and visions of paradise, Qur'anic quotations and interfaith references, and Platonic motifs, and explore the immortality of the soul and the necessity of co-operation in this world.
