Abhari’s Logic in Kitāb al-Maṭāliʿ

Athīr al-Dīn al-Abharī (d. ca. 656/1258) was an outstanding Iranian polymath who wrote numerous treatises including Bayān al-Asrār, Talkhiṣ al-Ḥaqa’iq, Kitāb al-Maṭāliʿ, and Zubdat al-Ḥaqa’iq. Each treatise contains three subjects: logic, physics, and metaphysics. They were copied by Kātibī al-Qazwīnī. Al-Abharī, himself, has written ijāza at the beginning of them. The four handwritings are reserved in MS Fazil Ahmed Pasha 1618, in the Library of Kuprili, at Istanbul. In this study I have edited the Logic of Kitāb al-Maṭāliʿ. Abhar’s logic in this work is purely Avicennan.
