"Thus Spake the Dervish explores the unfamiliar history of marginal Sufis, known as dervishes, in early modern and modern Central Asia over a period of 500 years. It draws on various sources (Persian chronicles and treatises, Turkic literature, Russian and French ethnography, the author’s fieldwork) to examine five successive cases, each of which corresponds to a time period, a specific socially marginal space, and a particular use of mystical language. Including an extensive selection of writings by dervishes, this book demonstrates the diversity and tenacity of Central Asian Sufism over a long period. Here translated into a Western language for the first time, the extracts from primary texts by marginal Sufis allow a rare insight into their world. The original French edition of this book, Ainsi parlait le dervice, was published by Editions du Cerf (Paris, France). Translated by Caroline Kraabel."--Provided by publisher.

Datés du début du VIe siècle, ces deux traités témoignent de la forte influence de la tradition néoplatonicienne sur l'auteur, qui dissimule sa véritable identité sous le nom du disciple converti par Paul à Athènes. Le premier - le plus long écrit par l'auteur - examine les noms divins structurés par le mouvement de la procession, de la conversion et de la permanence. On ne peut nommer Dieu que par ses processions, car en tant qu'il est non-être et au-delà de l'être, il reste caché et au-delà de tout nom. L'auteur passe en revue les différents noms de Dieu : le bien, la lumière, le beau, l'amour, etc. Ces titres, qui jouent un rôle central dans le platonisme tardif, sont ici profondément christianisés. - Le deuxième traité, la Théologie mystique, très bref, montre que l'union mystique, illustrée par l'entrée de Moïse dans la Ténèbre (Exode 19), transcende toute expression et activité des sens et de l'intellect, si bien que connaissance et ignorance de Dieu sont tenues pour identiques. La montée de Moïse sur le Sinaï représente l'ignorance de Dieu, mais sa redescente fonde la validité de la théologie positive. L'œuvre témoigne d'une tentative très élaborée de synthèse entre hellénisme et christianisme.
