About
Journal of the Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi Society (JMIAS) is a peer-reviewed scholarly publication dedicated to the study of the life, thought, and legacy of the great Andalusian mystic Muḥyiddin Ibn 'Arabī (1165–1240). Published biannually on behalf of the Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi Society, the journal provides an international forum for rigorous academic research on Ibn 'Arabī's writings and their intellectual, spiritual, and historical contexts. The journal welcomes original research articles, critical editions and translations of primary texts, annotated studies of manuscripts, book reviews, review essays, and occasional thematic symposia. Particular attention is given to contributions that advance philological, historical, philosophical, theological, and comparative approaches to Ibn ʿArabī and the broader Akbarian tradition.
