Zayn al-ʿArab al-Miṣrī’s Completion and Subsequent Abridgment of Quṭb al-Dīn al-Šīrāzī’s Commentary on Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn
The eighth/fourteenth century grammarian Zayn al-ʿArab al-Miṣrī enjoyed a rich and varied scholarly career, shaped by the intellectual landscape of the late-Ilkhanid period. Although he is best known for his oft-cited commentary on al-Baġawī’s (d. 516/1122) collection of hadith, Maṣābīḥ al-sunna , his scribal and scholarly activities spanned a wider range of disciplines. This is evidenced by his numerous extant holograph and autograph manuscripts…
Reading Avicenna in Ayyubid Damascus
Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa’s (d. 668/1270) ʿUyūn al-anbāʾ depicts Ayyubid Damascus as a flourishing intellectual scene where philosophy was regularly studied alongside other sciences, most often medicine. In that context, the court physician and statesman, Faḫr al-Dīn Riḍwān Ibn al-Sāʿātī (d. 618/1221), transcribed and collated dozens of Avicenna’s (d. 428/1037) philosophical works. In doing so, Ibn al-Sāʿātī made a concerted effort to correct scribal erro…
Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī’s Commentary on Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn in Historical Context
Ibn Sīnā’s al-Qānūn fī l-ṭibb , especially its first book, al-Kulliyyāt , elicited dozens of commentaries from the 6th/12th century through the 8th/14th century. Among them, Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī’s commentary, entitled al-Tuḥfa al-saʿdiyya , is distinguished in that in it he analyzed and synthesized almost all commentaries written before his death in 710/1311. This article shows how Shīrāzī bridged some of the political boundaries that divided t…
Philosophical and Philological Debates on Kulliyyāt I.1.ii of Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn
The debates on Kulliyyāt I .1.ii of Ibn Sīnā’s Qānūn (“on the subjects of medicine”) were initiated by Faḫr al-Dīn al-Rāzī and continued by Afḍal al-Dīn al-Ḫūnaǧī, Naǧm al-Dīn al-Naḫǧawānī, Yaʿqūb ibn Ġanāʾim al-Sāmirī, Rafīʿ al-Dīn al-Ǧīlī, Ibn al-Nafīs, and Ibn al-Quff al-Masīḥī. In his own commentary, entitled al-Tuḥfa al-saʿdiyya , Quṭb al-Dīn al-Šīrāzī preserved and scrutinized his predecessors’ commentaries, in order to offer what he believ…
