Series: - Islamic History and Civilization, Volume: 85
AbÅ« Ê¿AlÄ« Muḥammad Ibn KhallÄd al-Baá¹£rÄ« was a distinguished disciple of the MuÊ¿tazilÄ« theologian and founder of the Bahshamiyya, AbÅ« HÄshim al-JubbÄʾī (d. 321/933). He is reported to have written a theological summa, KitÄb al-Uṣūl, as well as an autocommentary. None of the works of Ibn KhallÄd has come down to us directly, although substantial portions of his KitÄb al-Uṣūl and/or Sharḥ al-Uṣūl have reached us embedded in the KitÄb ZiyÄdÄt Sharḥ al-Uṣūl by the ZaydÄ« ImÄm al-NÄá¹iq bi-l-ḥaqq AbÅ« ṬÄlib YaḥyÄ b. al-Ḥusayn b. HÄrÅ«n al-Buá¹á¸¥ÄnÄ« (d. 424/1033). The present volume contains an editio princeps of the text of the ZiyÄdÄt, based on what seems to be a unique manuscript, owned by Leiden University Library (Cod. Or 2949 [= Arab 2307]).
