Claude Addas is a French-Polish scholar of Islam who has made major contributions to the field of Ibn Arabi studies.

Biography

Addas is the daughter of the Islamic scholar Michel Chodkiewicz. As a child, Addas refused her father's wish to learn Latin, instead agreeing to study Arabic as a compromise. Addas earned a degree in Arabic and Persian.

She is the author of the 1989 book Ibn ʻArabī, ou, La quête du soufre rouge, a biography of Ibn Arabi, which was translated into English by Peter Kingsley as Quest for the Red Sulphur: The Life of Ibn 'Arabi and published in 1993. William Chittick described Quest for the Red Sulphur as "the best and most thoroughly documented account" of Ibn Arabi's life. Gregory Lipton described her as "Ibn Arabi's preeminent Western biographer".

Addas is also the author of Ibn Arabî et le voyage sans retour, which was translated into English as Ibn 'Arabi: The Voyage of No Return.
