Critical Edition and English Translation, with Philological-Historical and Source-Critical Introduction
Series: - Islamic Translation Series, Volume: 17
Ê¿Aá¸ud al-DÄ«n al-ĪjÄ« (d. 756/1355) and JalÄl al-DÄ«n al-DawÄnÄ« (d. 908/1502) were leading exponents of AshÊ¿arite philosophical theology in their respective eras, and DawÄnÄ«âs Commentary on ĪjÄ«âs Creed came to serve as a key advanced-level Ê¿aqÄ«da and uṣūl al-dÄ«n textbook in Sunni madrasas throughout South and Central Asia and the Ottoman lands up to the end of the 19th century. Here, for the first time, the Arabic texts of ĪjÄ«âs Creed and DawÄnÄ«âs Commentary are critically edited and translated into English by a team of experts: Robert Wisnovsky, Fateme Savadi, Walter Young, and Osama Eshera. Also included are discussions of the textsâ composition and structure, an analytical inventory of DawÄnÄ«âs sources, and a detailed description of the editionâs manuscript witnesses.
