Selected Bibliography of Symposiums on Sufism
The bibliography has revealed that while the number of congresses on Sufism has gradually decreased and focused on a narrow pool of subjects, the number of symposiums as well as the diversity of their subjects have increased. Joint projects between different disciplines and institutions have also started to characterize the symposiums. One should, however, approach these lists with caution and realize that they may increase by taking different sources into consideration.
Keywords: Sufism, Symposium, Congress, Symposiums on Sufism, Congresses on Sufism.
