اعتمادًا على اثني عشر مخطوطًا، يقدم ديوان «تُرجُمَـان الأَسـرَار» تحقيـقًا نقديـًا لجميـع قصـائـد محمد بـن أبي الحسن البكري الصديقي التي وصلتنا، ويعتبر محمد البكري (930-994/1524-1586) أحد أعلام مصر في الفقه والتصوف والأدب خلال القرن السادس عشر. ويتبع التحقيق أسلوبًا شموليًا نقديًا، حيث يضم الديوان القصائد مع نسخها وقراءاتها المختلفة. كان محمد البكري من أهم أدباء عصره، وكانت أشعاره تنتمي إلى مدرسة أدبية تستمد خصائصها من أعمال سابقيه من كبار الشعراء المتصوّفة كابن العربي وابن الفارض والبوصيري وعلي وفا. وإضافة إلى القيمة الأدبية لهذه القصائد فهي مصدر هام لدراسة الفكر الصوفي وممارساته في مصر العثمانية، فهي تتناول العديد من الموضوعات الصوفية كأحوال الأولياء وطقوس القهوة والفخر بالنسب الشريف وقضية وحدة الوجود المنسوبة لابن عربي والتي أثارت الكثير من الجدل. كما قام المحققان بإضافة مقدمة نقدية باللغتين الإنجليزية والعربية وملحقًا يضم مطالع القصائد والمخطوطات التي وردت فيها، وسيجد دارسي الأدب العربي والتصوّف والتاريخ الفكري العثماني في هذا الكتاب ما يثير اهتمامهم.
Based on a study of twelve Arabic manuscripts, The Interpreter of Secrets is a critical edition of the entire surviving corpus of the poetry of Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Hasan al-Bakrī (930-994/1524-1586), a leading jurist, Sufi, and literary figure in sixteenth-century Cairo. The texts of the poems are accompanied by a critical apparatus including all of the plausible variant readings and alternative versions of the poems. Al-Bakrī was a major literary figure, and his Sufi poetry belongs to a tradition that draws on the work of poets such as Ibn al-Fāriḍ, Ibn al-ʿArabī, al-Būṣīrī, and ʿAlī Wafā. In addition to their literary value, the poems are an important source for the study of Sufi theology and practice in Ottoman Egypt, including to such topics as the cult of the saints, the use of coffee for ritual purposes, the controversial appropriation of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s monist theology, and the establishment of sacred lineages. The editors have also included short Arabic and English introductions and an appendix that identifies the manuscript sources for each poem. This book will be of interest to students of Arabic literature, Sufism, and Ottoman intellectual history.
