Fons Vitae

Fons Vitae (Al-Kauthar), a non-profit, charitable foundation, and refereed publishing house, is devoted to making available works from the worlds great spiritual traditions which could be of true use to a person of any faith seeking Wholeness or Holiness. Literally translated from Latin as “the fountain of life,” fons vitae refers to the Knowledge which flows out to humanity from the Divine Source.

Although Fons Vitae was established in 1997 and has now published over 60 books, its efforts are a continuation of publishing begun in Cambridge, England in 1979 as Quinta Essentia–focused on symbolism, the arts, and universal spirituality– and the Islamic Texts Society – whose aim is to translate important work in the Islamic tradition, especially Sufism.
