Abstract

Synoptic edition of the introductions to Kitāb al-Taḏkira fī aḥkām al-jawāhir wa-l-aʿrāḍ ('Reminder about the properties of substances and accidents') by Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan b. Aḥmad b. Mattawayh and its commentary (Šarḥ), presumably by Abū Ǧaʿfar Muḥammad b. ʿAlī Mazdak. Taken together, these introductions offer a valuable summary outline of basic notions underlying the conceptual framework of Muʿtazilī-Bahšamī phenomenological epistemology. For other pertinent texts see the conspectus in my "MS Munich, Bavarian State Library, Cod. arab. 1294: A Guide to Zaydī Κalām-Studies during the Ṭāhirid and Early Qāsimite Periods (mid-15th to early 18th centuries)", in The Yemeni Manuscript Tradition, ed. David Hollenberg et al. (Leiden: Brill, 2015): 180–182 (https://www.academia.edu/2896026/).
