Ikhwanu-S Safa: Or Brothers Of Purity is a book written by John Dowson and published in 1869. The book is a translation of the Rasa'il Ikhwan al-Safa (Epistles of the Brethren of Purity), which is a collection of philosophical and scientific treatises written in Arabic during the 10th century. The Ikhwan al-Safa were a group of anonymous Muslim thinkers who sought to reconcile Islamic teachings with Greek philosophy and the sciences of their time. The book contains 52 epistles covering a wide range of topics such as logic, ethics, metaphysics, mathematics, astronomy, and music. The epistles are written in a clear and concise style, and are intended to be accessible to a general audience. The book is an important source for understanding the intellectual and cultural history of the Islamic world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
