AB "Maqālīd al-ʻulūm (Keys to the Sciences) is a significant source on definitions of Arabic scientific terms in the post-classical period. Composed by an anonymous author, it contains over eighteen hundred definitions in the realm of twenty-one religious, literary, and rational sciences. The work was dedicated to the Muzaffarid Shāh Shujāʻ, who ruled over Shiraz and its neighbouring regions from 759/1358 to 786/1384.

In the introduction, the editors review previous scholarship on the text, present an overview of patronage at the court of Shāh Shujāʻ and identify some of the sources used by the author of the work.
