Descripción: This dissertation attempts at a systematic study of the life, personality and thought of the second-third/eighth-ninth century Persian Sufi (Muslim Mystic) Abu Yazid al-Bistami. Having first described and evaluated the source material, it discusses his life, personality and mystical doctrines such as zuhd (asceticism), fana' (self-annihilation), tawhid (unification) and ma'rifah ("knowledge"). It also examines the question of possible Indian influence on him.
