Coomaraswamy was perhaps the greatest philosopher-theologian of recent times to have emerged from the East. His contributions to the philosophy and history of art, religion, and mysticism made him an international authority on these subjects and he corresponded extensively with other well-known figures in these areas.

This is the first volume of selected letters written by Coomaraswamy to mystics, theologians, art critics, painters, philosophers, writers, and religious thinkers.
