Extract
Throughout studying and translating Ibn Taymiyya, I have incurred a great debt to colleagues and students at McGill's Institute of Islamic Studies. My students who read Ibn Taymiyya's work with me have helped me consider alternative interpretations of some crucial passages. Mehdi Mohaghegh was always more than happy to discuss difficulties in the text. Hermann Landolt has unsparingly afforded me his expertise on matters related to mysticism and metaphysics, and made useful comments on the Introduction. Charles Adams read the Introduction and the entire translation. Wherever the work does not suffer from awkward style or lack of clarity, it is due to his excellent suggestions and comments. Donald Little and Üner Turgay have given me invaluable moral support throughout their tenure as Directors of the Institute of Islamic Studies. To both of them as well as to all the other colleagues I am deeply grateful.
I should also like to record my gratitude to Nicholas Heer, of the University of Washington, for sharing with me throughout the years his interest in Ibn Taymiyya, and for making comments on a number of paragraphs in the translation. I am immeasurably indebted to Michael Marmura, of the University of Toronto, for his penetrating remarks on difficult parts of the text treating of metaphysics. Thanks are also due to the anonymous OUP reviewers who made valuable comments on the Introduction. The entire text has benefited greatly from the impressive editorial skills of George Tulloch of OUP.
