ABSTRACT
Jalal al-Dcn al-Suyeuc provides in his al-LabA ”ik f C akhbAr al-malA ”ik one of the largest collections of RadCth about angels in a single volume. The RadCth explore the physical forms and functions of the angels, as well as the different way in which the human and divine worlds interact. Al-Suyeuc is famous for his RadCth compilations, particularly for their wide-ranging subject matter, including works on: history, cosmology, earthquakes, philology, prayer, the pyramids, and pornography.1 Al-Suyeuc’s collections are often on subjects that were yet to have received a specific volume devoted to them, and al-Suyeuc’s al-LabA ”ik is original in its specificity on angels.2
