The Arabic Version of the Nicomachean Ethics
This volume offers a critical edition of the only extant Arabic manuscript of the Nicomachean Ethics. A comprehensive introduction by the late Douglas M. Dunlop describes the influence this major Aristotelian work had on Arabic literature. Dunlop’s annotated English translation includes important references to the Greek text of the Ethics. The appendix includes a select Greek-Arabic glossary.

The Nicomachean Ethics in Arabic, Books I-Vi
It has long been known that the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle was translated into Arabic at an early date. But even the great bibliographer Moritz Steinschneider, in a life-time's work, never came upon a copy, nor have the libraries of Turkey, revealed to Western students through the genial labours of Professor Ritter, afforded a trace of what must be thought of as one of the rarest of Arabic translations from the Greek. In 1955 Professor Arber…

The Translations of al-Biṭrīq and Yaḥyā (Yuḥannā) b. al-Biṭrīq
Accounts of the two notable translators into Arabic, al-Biṭrīq and his son Yaḥyā are, even in our best works of reference, inadequate and often confused. One gathers the general impression that their translations were displaced by the works of Ḥunain b. Isḥāq and his school, who flourished about sixty years later. It is to this loss of popularity, it would seem, that the paucity of information about the two earlier translators and the limited num…

The Spanish Historian Ibn Ḥubai sh
Ibn ḥubai sh is mentioned by Francisco Codera as a source of Ibn al-'Abbār who deserves attention. Caetani also stresses his importance as a representative of the Medinese tradition which aṭ-Ṭabarī neglected. There is very little about him in the standard books of reference
The Dhunnunids of Toledo
When the Umayyad Caliphate in Spain succumbed to internal faction and weakness, the country was split up into independent kingdoms, ruled by the men who for one reason or another were able to take control. In the confused history of these “Party Kings” the Abbadids of Seville played a spectacular role. Their history is known from the admirable writings of Dozy, as is also the history of other families of this period. But the Banū dh ī'n-Nūn or Dh…
Notes on the Dhunnunids of Toledo
The notice of Abū Bakr Ya'ī sh b. Muḥammad b. Ya'ī sh in Ibn Ba sh kuwāl, ed. Codera, p. 628, gives his death as in 418 or 419. This confirms the view that Dhunnunid rule began before 423. Abū Bakr Ya'ī sh must have reached power about 400: Ibn Kau th ar was killed by his orders in 403 (loc. cit., p. 39) while at the funeral of a certain Qu sh airī (not the mystic) in 400 Ibn Ya'ī sh , presumably Muḥammad the father, took the prayers
Muḥammad b. Mūsā al- Kh wārizmī
In Baghdad of al-Ma'mūn's time there appears to have been a degree of intellectual enterprise, especially in the field of natural science, scarcely attained at any other period of Islam. The names of Muḥammad b. Mūsā al- Kh wārizmī and Muḥammad b. Mūsā b. Sh ākir are well known among those which made the Caliphate of al-Ma'mūn, from this point of view, so celebrated in later times. Recently, while investigating the history of the Khazars, I was i…

Ibn Bājjah's Tadbīru'l-Mutawaḥḥid (Rule of the Solitary)
Though Ibn Bājjah (Avempace) is by common consent one of the representative Arab philosophers, our knowledge of his views has rested on a narrow basis. Carra de Vaux in France and Sarton in the United States stressed that he is little more than a name—though a famous one—and pointed to the desirability of getting to know more of his work. Students had, when Carra de Vaux and Sarton wrote, been confined for knowledge of Ibn Bājjah's writings to th…

The following pages are translated from an unpublished Bodleian MS. They form the first part of the introduction to an Arabic commentary on the Eisagoge of Porphyry, which the title page and the Bodleian catalogue ascribe to the well-known Arab philosopher al-Fārābī (first half of the tenth century A.D.). We know from independent sources that al-Fārābī wrote a commentary to the Eisagoge. This is evidently what we have before us, but the text deal…

Al-Fārābī's Aphorisms of the Statesman
As is well known, al-Fārābī formulated his political philosophy on more than one occasion. The most comprehensive statements of his political views are to be found in two texts which engaged the attention of the German orientalist Dieterici and whose Arabic titles may conveniently be rendered the Ideal State and the Political Philosophy. It is apparently these two works which are mentioned together in terms of the highest praise by the Qāḍī Ṣā'id…
The Dīwᾱn attributed to Ibn Bᾱjjah (Avempace)
Considerable expectation has been raised by the announcement from Turkey that the Dīwān or collected poems of the famous 12th-century author Ibn Bājjah (Avempace) has been discovered. Nowadays when Ibn Bājjah's name is mentioned we think of him as a prominent figure of what may be called the Spanish school of Arabic philosophy. But in his own time and later Ibn Bājjah's reputation as musician and poet, cultivator inter alia of the new poetical st…

The object of the present note is to draw attention to another source- qualiscunque est-on the Ṣaqālibah, Bulgars, etc., which has not hitherto been investigated.

Ḥafṣ b. Albar—the last of the Goths
It is a well-known fact that descendants of the Visigothic kings lived on in Spain under Muslim rule for several centuries. An important early historian of Muslim Spain, Ibn al-Qüṭīyah (died 367/977), owes his name—“son of the Gothic woman”—to descent from the princess Sara, granddaughter of King Witiza, and in his Iftitāḥ gives an account of the destinies of several members of the family. The following pages will, I hope, serve to throw light on…
