- Before Sufism: early Islamic renunciant piety is the culmination of many years research. There is a substantial body of scholarship in print concerning the Sufi period, from the ninth century forward. However, this is the first book to dwell on the period before since Tor Andrae, I myrten-trädgården (1947). It makes more careful distinctions than that work, as in expressly identifying stages of development and distinguishing between sources in the Sufi, adab, and hadith traditions. It also uses substantially more primary sources, notably collections of hadith and biographies of traditionists besides books available only in manuscript when Andrae was writing.
