The book is a translation of the ""Rasa'il Ikhwan al-Safa"" (Epistles of the Brethren of Purity), which is a collection of philosophical and scientific treatises written in Arabic during the 10th century. The Ikhwan al-Safa were a group of anonymous Muslim thinkers who sought to reconcile Islamic teachings with Greek philosophy and the sciences of their time.
