La Passion de Hallaj: martyr mystique de l'Islam (v. I-IV, complete)
Paris: Gallimard / Nouvelle Revue Francais, 1990. Reissue (originally published 1922). Four octavo volumes. Gray publisher's cloth; dustjackets; 708,519,386,,330pp; plates, text illustrations. Volumes I-III are Fine and unmarked in the original dustrwrappers. Vol. IV, due to an apparent binding flaw, is missing its front endpaper and the binding has fully separated from the text block at front gutter – still textually complete, included here as a placeholder for an otherwise pristine set. Texts entirely in French.
An attractive Gallimard printing of Massignon's monumental biography of the 10th-century Sufi mystic. Comprises: Vol. I: La Vie de Hallaj. Vol. II: La Survie de Hallaj. Vol. III: La Doctrine de Hallaj. Vol. IV: Bibliographie & Index.
