    • `Revealing Revisions: Fayd al-Kiishani's Four Versions of al-Kalimat al-Maknuna' in  Iranian Studies, Vol. 47 (2014), No.2, 241-262.

    "This article examines four mystical treatises by the Safovid scholar Fayd al-Kiishiini (d. 1090/1679). Of the four, al-Kalimat al-Makniina ('the Hidden Words") serves as the basis for the three other versions, al-La' ali', Qurrat al-' Uy iin, and al-Kalimiit al-Makhziina,  composed at different times for different audiences. Comparison of their structure and content reveals changes that occurred in Kiishiinis presentation of the thought of Ibn 'Arabi and Mullii Sadrii Kiishiinis later emphasis on Shi'i hadith
    sources says much about the context in which he wrote and perhaps more about his later assessment of the place".
