Madkhal al-`Ibada (‘Introduction to the Devotion’). First Arabic edition of the Introduction à la vie dévote, the ‘Introduction to the Devout Life’ by St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), who wrote this work in 1608 (first edition published in 1609). From then till the present day the book has retained a large readership and it has been styled the most influence Christian self-help book of all time. The translator of the Arabic version seems to be deacon Farag Allah al-Ladhiqi rather than the Jesuit father Pierre Fromage whose name is sometimes mentioned in this connection. The Arabic text is divided into five parts (guz’), which are subdivided into sections (fasl). The text is preceded by an Introduction (Fatiha) and a detailed table of contents (Fihris).
