Fez, City of Islam, published for the first time in English, is undoubtedly one of the Titus Burckhardt’s masterpieces. Written in a style that is immediately accessible, it nonetheless conveys a profound understanding of the sacred roots that nourish Islamic culture and civilization. As a young man in the 1930s, Burckhardt spent several years in Morocco where he became acquainted with several remarkable representatives of the spiritual heritage of Maghrib. Although he committed much of this experience to writing, it was not until the 1950s that these writings were developed into a book. Many of the extraordinary photographs included are his own.
