Written in a question-and-answer format, <i>The Yoga Sutras of Pata</i><i>ñ</i><i>jali </i>deals with the theory and practice of yoga and the psychological question of the liberation of the soul from attachments. <p/>This book is a new edition and translation into English of the Arabic translation and commentary on this text by the brilliant eleventh-century polymath al-Bīrūnī. Given the many historical variants of the <i>Yoga Sutras</i>, his<i> Kitāb Bātanjali</i> is important for yoga studies as the earliest translation of the Sanskrit text. It is also of unique value as an Arabic text within Islamic studies, given the intellectual and philosophical challenges that faced the medieval Muslim reader when presented with the intricacy of composition, interpretation, and allusion that permeates this translation. <p/>A bilingual Arabic-English edition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Abū Rayḥān al-Bīrūnī (Author) </b><br> <b>Abū Rayḥān al-Bīrūnī </b>(d. ca. 442/1050) was an accomplished Iranian scholar and polymath. <p/><b>Mario Kozah (Edited and Translated by) </b><br> <b>Mario Kozah</b> is Assistant Professor of Islamic History and Civilization at the Department of Humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences, Qatar University.
