Claude Addas is a French-Polish scholar of Islam who has made major contributions to the field of Ibn Arabi studies.

Biography

[edit]

Addas is the daughter of the Islamic scholar Michel Chodkeiwicz.[1] As a child, Addas refused her father's wish to learn Latin, instead agreeing to study Arabic as a compromise.[2] Addas earned a degree in Arabic and Persian.[3]

She is the author of the 1989 book Ibn ʻArabī, ou, La quête du soufre rouge, a biography of Ibn Arabi, which was translated into English by Peter Kingsley as Quest for the Red Sulphur: The Life of Ibn 'Arabi and published in 1993.[4] William Chittick described Quest for the Red Sulphur as "the best and most thoroughly documented account" of Ibn Arabi's life.[5] Gregory Lipton described her as "Ibn Arabi's preeminent Western biographer".[4]

Addas is also the author of Ibn Arabî et le voyage sans retour, which was translated into English as Ibn 'Arabi: The Voyage of No Return.[4]
