Description
Summary: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 believed to be more conclusive interpretations of Ibn Sīnā. Focusing on the introductory part of Kulliyyāt I.1.ii, we show that the commentators were divided not only on philosophical issues, but also on the very text that should be attributed to Ibn Sīnā.
