| Quotation | It is good to know that the "chroniques" on Islam and so on will get printed, even though not monastic. I have Schuon on Islam and the book on Hallaj, both of which I have been waiting to read, not certain whether you would be expecting a "chroniqu" on them. Can we decide more or less definitely one way or the other whether I should produce another chronique on non-Christian spiritualities for this year? If so I will gladly go ahead with it, and I have some interesting material which is close to monasticism even though as the Koran or rather some Hadith asserts: "There is no monasticism in Islam." Actually I think Dom Leclercq has written on this subject. Do you by any chance have his essay? It was published I think at Toumliline. If you like I can write myself because I need another study on the same thing published in Morocco (Brunel, Le Monachisme Errant dans l'Islam, Institut des Hautes Etudes Marocaines, 1955). I could write for both at the same time unless you have them on hand. |
