Hello again,

I'm looking for the book "Histoire de la philosophie islamique" by H. Corbin.

But the English version. To my knowledge there are quotes of Imams in this book, correct?...

Where would I be able to buy this book and what is it's English name?

Thanks!

You can find a list of Corbon's books and article in the Library section of ismaili.net uner Author Index >> Corbin

I know this specific book has been translated in several languages, including Japanese. But the references are not on this dite I believe,

I have read this book, yest there are references to Farmans, I remember particularly that there are some of the 70 declarations of Hazrat Ali from the Khutba al Bayan.

Nagib, are you aware of any places to purchase this book in Vancouver? Even on the internet would be good. I am mainly interested in the sayings/hadiths of Hazrat Ali. This book and any others that are in English.

YAM s786,

Check out Cyclical Times and Ismaili Gnosis. Much of the same material with more detail.

Try ordering by Interlibrary loan if in the USA and then photocopying it (the last time i checked it was out of print and expensive if you could find one used). Dont know about library proceedures outside of USA but it should be available at any large university library.
