This study aims to reconsider the impact of the Rasāʾil Iḫwān al-Ṣafāʾ on the Rutbat al-ḥakīm ( The Rank of the Sage ) and the Ġāyat al-ḥakīm ( The Aim of the Sage ). Exclusively concerned with textual evidence taken from the three works and making extensive use of the programme Qawl , it shows that the way Maslama b. Qāsim al-Qurṭubī refers to the Iḫwānian corpus in the Rutba reveals a far less familiarity with that work than at the time he writes the Ġāya . This difference of treatment suggests that, contrary to what was previously assumed, Maslama had no access to the text of the Rasāʾil before he started writing his ultimate treatise
