"Significant works" are calculated as "major works" plus "important works." For definitions, see key . Works in each category are calculated from the bibliographies linked through the biographical analysis .
- Three writers (12% of total) produced 64% of all significant works and were the authors of 81% of works translated. Lings comes fourth some way behind these, but ahead of all other Schuonian writers.
- Whilst Schuon has the highest number of "significant" works, Nasr has the highest number of "major" works.
- Burckhardt had more "major" works than Schuon, but comes behind Schuon and Nasr in the production of "significant" works because he had relatively few "important" works.

Translations (a) are translations made by Schuonians, e.g. from Arabic into English. These are counted in the new publications subtotal for each decade. Translations (b) are translations of Schuonian works, e.g. from French into English or Turkish. If a book has been translated into several languages, each new translation is counted individually. Translations are allocated to the decade i which they were published, not to the decade in which the work translated was originally published. For definitions of "major works" and "important works," see key . No book is counted more than once, even if a modified or revised edition is published. Works in each category are calculated from the bibliographies linked through the biographical analysis .
