It's the real life basis for the mythical book Al Azif, which was the inspiration for the Necronomicon. Outside of old school traditionalist Sufis, it's pretty much treated like the most evil thing ever written. Like most of this stuff though, there's a whole lot of misunderstanding around it. It's not so much Al-Buni's writings that attract the ire, it's everything that was added throughout the 17th-century. Even that stuff seems pretty tame though. I've seen way scarier books before. --- Most people are other people.
