The thesis examines the doctrine of mystical knowledge (maʿrifa) in Abū Bakr al-Kalābādhī’s Kitāb al-Taʿarruf li-madhhab ahl al-taṣawwuf, a central text for understanding the early development of Sunni Sufism. Through the analysis of the chapters devoted to maʿrifa, the study explores the nature of this knowledge, its modes of acquisition, and the role of the gnostic within the spiritual path. Drawing on the Arabic text and the main modern translations, the research clarifies the mystical epistemology proposed by al-Kalābādhī and his contribution to the Sufi understanding of the knowledge of God.

Attraverso l’analisi dei capitoli dedicati alla maʿrifa, si approfondiscono la natura della conoscenza, le sue modalità di acquisizione e il ruolo dello gnostico nel percorso spirituale. L’indagine, condotta sul testo arabo e sulle principali traduzioni, chiarisce l’epistemologia mistica proposta da al-Kalābādhī e il suo contributo alla comprensione sufi della conoscenza di Dio.
