Itzchak Weismann is senior lecturer in Middle Eastern history at the University of Haifa, and this Routledge academic monograph surveys the Naqshbandi Sufi order's history, doctrine and practice across the regions it has spread through, from Central Asia to the Ottoman world and beyond. Its strength is a historian's synthesis of the wide scholarly literature on the order alongside his own original research. Its limit is that as a broad historical survey it covers the order's ideas and organization at the level of its many regional branches, so a claim about one specific branch's local practice may need a more local source.
