CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1. Survey of Previous Scholarship Interest in Ibn KammÖna in Europe dates back to the 17th century, when Barthélemy d’Herbelot (1624–1695) included some of the information provided by ÆÊjjÒ KhalÒfa (or KÊtib nelebi, 1609–1657) on two of his works—his comparison of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth li-l-milal al-thalÊth, and his commentary on Ibn SÒnÊ’s (d. 428/1037) al-IshÊrÊt wa-l-tanbÒhÊt—in his Bibliothèque orientale, published posthumously in 1697.1 Research on Ibn KammÖna started near the end of the 19th century, and the point of departure for the first generation of scholars was a codex, held in the Berlin State Library, containing his TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth, together with his investigation into the differences between, and mutual accusations of, Rabbanites and Karaites.2 Given the relevance of these two texts for Jewish studies and given the fact that the entire codex was written in Hebrew characters, it was scholars of Jewish studies who initiated the research on Ibn KammÖna. Though still in doubt about its authenticity, Hartwig Hirschfeld included an edition of the treatise on Rabbanites and Karaites in his Arabic Chrestomathy in Hebrew Characters published in 1892,3 and in 1893 Leo Hirschfeld published an edition in Hebrew characters with a translation of a section

of the chapter on Judaism from TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth.4 Little attention was paid at the time to the philosophical works known to have been written by Ibn KammÖna; the principal source was still ÆÊjjÒ KhalÒfa, who in addition to the TanqҘ5 and the commentary on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt6 listed the following three titles: Tadhkira fÒ l-kÒmiyÊ,7 a commentary on ShihÊb al-DÒn al-SuhrawardÒ’s (d. 587/1191) TalwҘÊt,8 and al-Æikma al-jadÒda fÒ l-man¢iq.9 Several manuscripts of philosophical writings were, moreover, known to be held in Western libraries: his commentaries on the TalwҘÊt and the IshÊrÊt, his excerpts from NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ’s (d. 672/1274) TalkhÒÉ al-mu˜aÉÉal, and a treatise on the pre-eternity of the soul.10 The latter was incidentally the only independent treatise by Ibn KammÖna on a philosophical issue to be analyzed by Ignaz Goldziher in 1896 on the basis of the manuscript in the Carlo Landberg collection, which was believed to be the only extant copy of the text.11 By contrast, the rich manuscript holdings of writings by Ibn KammÖna housed in public and private libraries in Turkey, Iraq and Iran remained unexploited and in fact completely unknown to the scholars of the time. 4

INTRODUCTION

3

In the first decades of the 20th century, two scholars explored manuscripts of writings by Ibn KammÖna in Eastern libraries: Hellmut Ritter and ¹ghÊ Buzurg al-”ihrÊnÒ. In his catalogue of Istanbul manuscripts related to ShihÊb al-DÒn al-SuhrawardÒ published in 1937 and 1939, Ritter provided information on numerous copies of Ibn KammÖna’s works.12 The holdings of libraries in Iraq (among others the Gharawiyya library in Najaf holding numerous autographs of Ibn KammÖna) and Iran were consulted by ¹ghÊ Buzurg, who included information on the writings of Ibn KammÖna in his DharÒ{a ilÊ taÉÊnÒf al-shÒ{a, which he had started to compile in 1911.13—The next scholar to advance our knowledge of Ibn KammÖna was Dawid Hartwig Baneth with a study published in 1925.14 Although his point of departure was again the Berlin codex, he managed to correct some of the errors of earlier scholars. He established the authenticity of the treatise on Rabbanites and Karaites and showed that Ibn KammÖna must have lived and worked in Baghdad, and not in Egypt as Moritz Steinschneider had argued earlier.15 This was later confirmed when the chronicle alÆawÊdith al-jÊmi{a wa-l-tajÊrib al-nÊfi{a, containing a biographical entry on Ibn KammÖna, was published in 1932.16 The information provided by the ÆawÊdith was later supplemented by the entry on Ibn KammÖna in Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò’s TalkhÒÉ majma{ al-ÊdÊb fÒ mu{jam al-alqÊb.17

CHAPTER ONE

Despite these advances, scholars in the West were still unable to exploit the manuscript materials in Iran, Iraq and Turkey adequately. The focus of their attention remained the treatises located in Western libraries and known of since the 19th century, particularly those relevant to Jewish studies. Moshe Perlmann continued the work of Leo Hirschfeld by preparing a critical edition of TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth published in 1967,18 to be followed in 1971 by an annotated translation into English.19 In addition to the Berlin codex and the manuscript from the Bodleian Library in Oxford that had already been used by Leo Hirschfeld, Perlmann used a copy of the text in the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome and two manuscripts from Istanbul and Tehran.20 Nemoy worked on the other treatise preserved in the Berlin codex, dealing with the differences between Rabbanites and Karaites, which was still believed to be the only extant copy, publishing an improved edition of the text and an annotated translation into English.21 In addition, Nemoy continued the advances of Goldziher and worked on the treatise on the eternity of the soul on the basis of the manuscript in the Landberg collection that, again, he believed was the only extant copy.22 Although Nemoy was aware that Ibn KammÖna had written more extensively on the 18 Moshe Perlmann (ed.): Sa{d b.

issues dealt with in this treatise,23 he had no access to any of his other philosophical writings and he was unaware of the author’s two other extant treatises on the soul.24 Only slowly did scholars follow the path taken by Ritter and ¹ghÊ Buzurg to provide information on Ibn KammÖna’s writings in tracing manuscripts in Eastern collections. Carl Brockelmann took into consideration the findings of Ritter and ¹ghÊ Buzurg in the supplementary volumes to his Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur published between 1937 and 1942.25 Henry Corbin consulted Ibn KammÖna’s commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt when preparing a critical edition of the metaphysics section of the TalwҘÊt.26 Fuat Sezgin checked the Turkish libraries for writings by Ibn KammÖna, although his findings have not been published.27 In 1958 and 1965 Mu˜ammad RiÓÊ alShabÒbÒ published his descriptions of autographs by Ibn KammÖna in the KhizÊnat al-Mashhad al-{AlawÒ (i.e., al-KhizÊna al-Gharawiyya) in Najaf, which he had consulted in 1911.28 The information provided by ShabÒbÒ and ¹ghÊ Buzurg was supplemented by the manuscript catalogues of the collection of Æusayn {AlÒ Ma˜fÖØ who visited the 23

At the beginning of the treatise, Ibn KammÖna refers in a general manner to earlier writings related to the subject (transl. Nemoy, p. 86). 24 Namely MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan and MaqÊla fÒ anna l-nafs laysat bi-mizÊj al-badan wa-lÊ kÊxina {an mizÊj al-badan; for these two treatises, see below, Chapter Two, Sections 1.3.8 and 1.3.9. 25 Carl Brockelmann: Geschichte der Arabischen Litteratur 1–2. Leiden 1943–49 [henceforth cited as GAL]. Supplementbände 1–3. Leiden 1937–42 [henceforth cited as GALS], vol. 1, pp. 768ff; vol. 3, p. 1232; see also his Vorwort in GALS, vol. 1, pp. xi–xvii. Cf. also Ritter I, p. 270 n. 1: “Dieser Aufsatz hat Brockelmann für sein Supplement zur Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur im Manuskript vorgelegen. Da der betreffende Teil des Supp. inzwischen erschienen ist, zitiere ich nun meinerseits Brockelmann’s Werk.” Of the DharÒ{a, Brockelmann had only the first two volumes at his disposal; see Etan Kohlberg: “al- arÒ{a elÊ TaÉÊnÒf al-ŠÒ{a.” In Encyclopaedia Iranica, vol. 7, p. 36. 26 Particularly ms. Ahmed III 3244; cf. ShihÊb al-DÒn al-SuhrawardÒ: Opera Metaphysica et Mystica I. Ed. Henry Corbin.

Al-ShabÒbÒ wrote another work entitled FalÊsifat alyahÖd fÒ l-islÊm in which he also deals with Ibn KammÖna and which perhaps contains additional information on him (cf. DharÒ{a, vol. 16, p. 304 no. 1337); ¹ghÊ Buzurg does not provide any bibliographical details, and it is not certain whether the book ever appeared in print.

library in 1958 and of A˜mad al-ÆusaynÒ.29 Apart from these efforts by individual scholars, the activities in Iran and in Turkey to catalogue the holdings of public and private libraries have brought to light further manuscripts of writings by Ibn KammÖna.30 Two Istanbul manuscripts served as the basis of an edition of his major independent work on philosophy, al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, published in 1982 in Baghdad.31 Because of a too narrow textual basis and the careless manner in which it was produced, this publication, which can hardly be traced in any Western library, is of little use to modern studies. Contemporary Iranian scholars have concentrated on Ibn KammÖna’s philosophical writings and edited some of his works in this field. Independently of each other, Sayyid Æusayn Sayyid MÖsawÒ and Hossein Ziai together with Ahmed Alwishah edited Ibn KammÖna’s commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt.32 Sayyid MÖsawÒ also edited his

CHAPTER ONE

2. Notes on Ibn KammÖna’s Biography Much of {Izz al-Dawla Sa{d b. ManÉÖr b. Sa{d b. al-Æasan b. Hibat AllÊh Ibn KammÖna al-BaghdÊdÒ’s biography can only hypothetically be reconstructed as little concrete data is available. He presumably originated from Baghdad and spent most, if not all of his life in this city. His ancestors, to whom he refers at the beginning of his writings when he gives his full name,39 were most likely learned as well, as is suggested by Ibn KammÖna’s accurate reference not only to his father (ManÉÖr) and his grandfather (Sa{d), but also to his great-grandfather (al-Æasan), and his great great-grandfather (Hibat AllÊh). Nothing is known about Ibn KammÖna’s early life and education. He was born into a Jewish family40 and he must have received a thorough education in both Jewish and Islamic letters, as is evident from the erudition of his writings in both fields. His knowledge of Jewish literature is evident from his treatise on the differences between the Rabbanites and Karaites, although he states in the introduction that he does not consider himself an expert on the details of law.41 The text is

39 See the beginning of texts as quoted below in Chapter Two, Sections 1.1.3, 1.2.1, 1.3.1, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.5.1. 40 On the basis of documents from the Ben Ezra Genizah in Fustat, Shlomo Dov Goitein draws attention to three further Jewish personalities with the surname “Ibn KammÖna” living in Iraq, some or all of whom may well have been ancestors of {Izz al-Dawla Ibn KammÖna. See his A Mediterranean Society. Volume III: The Family. Berkeley 1978, p. 13: “The surname Ibn KammÖna, ‘Son of the Grain of Cumin [fem.]’ . . . is quite another story. It appears first in the Geniza in the year 1121, in a report about messianic troubles in Baghdad, when an AbÖ Sahl Ibn KammÖna was received by the caliph and intervened with him for the Jewish community. Another Ibn KammÖna, clearly a prominent personality, died in an underground prison in WÊsi¢, Iraq, in 1204/5, reported by a Muslim historian [i.e., Ibn al-SÊ{Ò: al-JÊmi{ al-mukhtaÉar. Baghdad 1934, p. 165; R.P. & S.S.] as a noteworthy happening. A third one, bearing the title ‘Pride of the Efficient [servants of the government]’ [i.e. Fakhr al-kufÊt; R.P. & S.S.], is referred to as a benefactor in a letter by the Gaon of Baghdad, Samuel b. Eli, dated 1206. All these as well as the famous oculist and philosopher {Izz al-Dawla Ibn KammÖna . . . might have belonged to the same family. For all of them lived in Iraq and were connected with the government in one way or another.” For the first mentioned incident, involving AbÖ Sahl Ibn KammÖna, see also idem: “A Report on Messianic Troubles in Baghdad in 1120–21.” The Jewish Quarterly Review 43 (1952–53), pp. 57–76. 41 See his introduction to this tract (quoted in Chapter Two, Section 1.4.2): . . . wa˜arrartu al-bayÊnÊt wa-l-ajwiba ma{a qillat ma{rifatÒ bi-juzxiyyÊt al-sharÒ{a . . .

replete with Talmudic and Rabbinic references, while his main source was Judah ha-Levi’s (1075–1141) KitÊb al-KhuzarÒ.42 The numerous Hebrew terms, notes and quotations from the Hebrew Bible indicate that Ibn KammÖna mastered Hebrew. His erudition in Jewish religious literature is also evident from his TanqҘ, in which he relied not only on the KhuzarÒ, but also on Maimonides’ (1138–1204) DalÊlat al-˜ÊxirÒn.43 Presumably, Ibn KammÖna also studied Islamic literature under at least some scholars, although for the field of philosophy he states in his MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan that he was selftaught.44 This is confirmed by his habit of noting down useful points ( fawÊxid) for himself from works he was studying. Autographs of excerpts from several philosophical and scientific works by NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ, Najm al-DÒn AbÖ Bakr Mu˜ammad al-NakhjawÊnÒ (d. after 626/1229), Najm al-DÒn al-DabÒrÊn al-KÊtibÒ al-QazwÒnÒ (d. 675/1277), Muxayyad al-DÒn al-{UrÓÒ (d. 664/1266), and AbÖ Ray˜Ên al-BÒrÖnÒ (d. after 442/ 1050), written between 670/1271–72 to 675/1277, are extant.45 The earliest dated evidence of his life is the date of completion of his short work on philosophy, al-Ma¢Êlib al-muhimma, which he finished in Sha{bÊn 657/July-August 1259.46 A few months later, in Dhu l-Æijja 657/ November 1259, Ibn KammÖna completed his concise philosophical treatise TaqrÒb al-ma˜ajja wa-tahdhÒb al-˜ujja.47 Apparently these treatises were not his first output, as in the Ma¢Êlib he alludes to a treatise he wrote on the immortality of the soul.48 It is likely that he was referring 42 Detailed references to his sources are provided by Nemoy in the second apparatus criticus of his edition (“Ibn KammÖnah’s Treatise on the Differences between the Rabbanites and the Karaites,” pp. 160–65 [54–59]). See also his “Contributions to the Textual Criticism of Judah ha-Levi’s KitÊb al-KhazarÒ.” The Jewish Quarterly Review 26 (1936), pp. 221–26. 43 Detailed references to the Jewish sources used in the TanqҘ are provided by Perlmann in his edition and translation of the work. See also Simone Rosenkranz: “Judentum, Christentum und Islam in der Sicht des Ibn KammÖna.” Judaica. Beiträge zum Verstehen des Judentums 52 (1996), pp. 7–12. 44 Ed.

here either to his MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan,49 or to his MaqÊla fÒ anna wujÖd al-nafs abadÒ wa-baqÊxahÊ sarmadÒ.50 Cross references in both writings to another work on a different aspect of the soul, MaqÊla fÒ anna l-nafs laysat bi-mizÊj al-badan wa-lÊ kÊxina {an mizÊj albadan,51 suggest that the latter treatise precedes the two former maqÊlas. Moreover, in his TaqrÒb al-ma˜ajja he refers to glosses (ta{ÊlÒq) in which he had elaborated his thoughts on the soul.52 None of his extant writings fits this description and it is possible that he is referring here to a work hitherto unknown. Some time before 667/1268, Ibn KammÖna wrote glosses on the critical remarks of KÊtibÒ on Fakhr al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ’s (d. 606/1209) KitÊb al-Ma{Êlim fÒ l-uÉÖlayn. As he indicated in the introduction, he was at that time in Iraq,53 by which he presumably meant Baghdad. The terminus ante quem for the glosses is determined by Ibn KammÖna’s commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt, completed in the beginning of 667/1268, in which he refers to them.54 Ibn KammÖna stated in the introduction to his commentary on the TalwҘÊt that he had composed this work at the request of some scholars (jamÊ{a min al-sÊda al-nubalÊx wa-l-aɘÊb al-fuÓalÊx ).55 He did not dedicate either the commentary, nor any of his previous works to any individual, indicating that he had no patron at the beginning of his scholarly career. It was apparently through his commentary on the TalwҘÊt that he established himself as a philosopher. Thereafter he seems to have been patronized by the family of the Éʘib al-dÒwÊn, Shams al-DÒn alJuwaynÒ (d. 683/1284).56 On 28 Sha{bÊn 671/19 March 1273 Ibn KammÖna completed his commentary on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt which he had 49

dedicated to Sharaf al-DÒn HÊrÖn, one of the sons of JuwaynÒ, who was apparently a governor for part of Anatolia at that time.57 On 19 Dhu l-Qa{da 676/13 April 1278 Ibn KammÖna completed his most extensive independent treatise on philosophy, which later circulated under the titles al-KÊshif or al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma or other similar titles, and which is dedicated to DawlatshÊh b. Sanjar al-ÂʘibÒ (fl. 724/1324).58 DawlatshÊh was a government official who probably held a high position in Baghdad. His title, ÉʘibÒ, suggests that he must have had good relations with the JuwaynÒ family. Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò, who saw him in 679/1280–81 in the NiØÊmiyya madrasa of Baghdad, remarked that he was well versed in astronomy, mathematics, philosophy and literature and that he wrote poetry in Arabic and Persian.59 The wording of Ibn KammÖna’s introduction60 suggests that at the time DawlatshÊh was still a novice in the study of philosophy. Ibn KammÖna also mentioned here that the work was written with the latter’s encouragement, his company, 57

See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.1.1.—KÊtibÒ also dedicated a work on logic, JÊmi{ al-daqÊxiq fÒ kashf al-˜aqÊxiq, to Sharaf al-DÒn HÊrÖn. 58 See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.3.1. The work will henceforth be cited as alJadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma. 59 Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò has two entries on DawlatshÊh: Majma{ al-ÊdÊb. Ed. Mu˜ammad KÊØim, vol. 1, pp. 182–83 no. 185: {Izz al-DÒn Abu l-FaÓl DawlatshÊh b. Sanjar b. {Abd AllÊh al-ÉʘibÒ al-adÒb al-kÊtib; vol. 3, pp. 225–26 no. 2521: Fakhr al-DÒn Abu l-FaÓl HindÖ b. Sanjar al-ÉʘibÒ al-˜akÒm al-munajjim al-adÒb. DawlatshÊh produced three works, two of which have been published: Âa˜Ê˜ al-{ajam (ed. GhulÊm Æusayn BaygdilÒ. Tehran 1361/[1982]), and a work on history, TajÊrib al-salaf dar tawÊrikh-i khulafÊx u wuzarÊ-yi ÒshÊn (ed. {AbbÊs IqbÊl. Tehran 1313/1934 [reprinted Tehran 1344/1965]; TajÊrib al-salaf dar tÊrÒkh.

GAL, vol. 2, p. 192; GALS, vol. 2, p. 256. In his TajÊrib al-salaf DawlatshÊh states that he had studied under Shams al-DÒn al-KÒshÒ (p. 200). Furthermore he is known to have copied KÊtibÒ’s JÊmi{ al-daqÊxiq fÒ kashf al-˜aqÊxiq (copy dated 683/1284–85; cf. Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò: Mu{jam, vol. 3, p. 226 n. 1) as well as Qu¢b alDÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ’s Shar˜ Æikmat al-ishrÊq (ms. Turhan Valide 207; copy dated 4 Mu˜arram 721/2 February 1321); he also wrote poetry praising Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShirÊzÒ; see John Walbridge: The Science of Mystic Lights. Qutb al-DÒn ShÒrÊzÒ and the Illuminationist Tradition in Islamic Philosophy. Cambridge, Mass. 1992, p. 74. In addition, he copied KÊtibÒ’s and Ibn KammÖna’s glosses on Fakhr al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ’s Ma{Êlim (copy dated 11 RamaÓÊn 721/4 October 1321); see ms. Esad Efendi 1932, f. 126b. Moreover, extant in manuscript form (ms. Esad Efendi 1932, f. 140a) is a note by his son Mu˜ammad b. HindÖshÊh (dated 28–30 RabÒ{ II 743/28–30 September 1342) at the beginning of a copy of ShahrazÖrÒ’s Shar˜ Æikmat al-ishrÊq stating that he studied the work with his father and providing the latter’s isnÊd for the work. 60 See infra, Chapter Two, Section 1.3.1.

and his helpful remarks, suggesting that DawlatshÊh studied with Ibn KammÖna.61 Sometime before Sha{bÊn 678/December 1279 Ibn KammÖna was asked by a government official by the name of Shams al-DÒn Mu˜ammad b. al-Muxmin al-QazwÒnÒ to write a philosophical work for the library of BahÊx al-DÒn Mu˜ammad (d. 678/1279), another son of Shams alDÒn al-JuwaynÒ who was governor of Isfahan and the central regions of western Iran ({IrÊq-i {ajam) from 673/1274–75 until his death in Sha{bÊn 678/December 1279.62 Ibn KammÖna subsequently composed his KalimÊt wajÒza mushtamila {alÊ nukat la¢Òfa fÒ l-{ilm wa-l-{amal (known also under the titles al-Lum{a al-juwayniyya fÒ l-˜ikma al-{ilmiyya wa-l-{amaliyya and RisÊla fÒ l-{ilm wa-l-{amal), which he dedicated to BahÊx al-DÒn.63 The work includes various pieces of ethical and moral advice to the ruler.64 In the introduction Ibn KammÖna mentions the fact that it was during his sojourn in Baghdad that Shams al-DÒn asked him to write the work and further that it was composed before he left for Isfahan, taking the book with him.65 Ibn KammÖna was in contact with many of the scholars and philosophers of his time. Twice he wrote to NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ seeking answers to philosophical problems. On one occasion, he asked ”ÖsÒ about a problem related to KÊtibÒ’s view on the issue of the createdness

61 Other members of DawlatshÊh’s family also held high positions at the time. His father Sayf al-DÒn Sanjar is referred to by Ibn KammÖna as “the great ruler” (al-amÒr al-kabÒr). See infra, Chapter Two, Section 1.3.1. DawlatshÊh’s brother Sayf al-DÒn Ma˜mÖd was ruler of KÊshÊn, and in 674/1275 DawlatshÊh for a time succeeded his brother in that position before going to Baghdad. See HindÖshÊh: TajÊrib al-salaf, p. 301 and introduction p. v. 62 See WaÉÉÊf [{Abd AllÊh b. FaÓl AllÊh al-ShÒrÊzÒ]: TÊrÒkh-i WaÉÉÊf. Lith. Bombay 1269/1853, vol. 1, pp. 60–66. 63 See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.3.4. 64 See particularly jumla two, bÊb two, Chapters ( faÉl) Two, Three, Four, and Five. See infra, Chapter Three, Text One, pp. 176–85. Inter alia, Ibn KammÖna advises him not to persecute religious minorities.—Moral and ethical advice to rulers is also included in Ibn KammÖna’s IthbÊt al-mabdax wa-ÉifÊtihÒ wa-l-{amal al-muqarrib ilÊ llÊh; see below, Chapter Three, Text Two, pp. 194–95. Both works therefore can be considered as belonging, at least partially, to the advice literature known as “mirrors for princes” in modern scholarship. For this genre, see Patricia Crone: Medieval Islamic Political Thought. Edinburgh 2004, pp. 148–64. 65 See below, Chapter Three, Text One, p. 140.

of the world (˜udÖth al-{Êlam), and on another occasion he requested ”ÖsÒ’s views on seven philosophical issues.66 Of the first exchange, only ”ÖsÒ’s reply is available, in which he addressed Ibn KammÖna as aldÊ{Ò al-mukhliÉ, while the whereabouts of Ibn KammÖna’s initial query and the subsequent letter he wrote in response to ”ÖsÒ’s reply are lost. The second exchange is complete. In it, ”ÖsÒ addressed Ibn KammÖna respectfully as al-˜akÒm al-fÊÓil akyas al-aqrÊn wa-aw˜ad al-zamÊn. Neither of the two exchanges is dated. The only secure terminus ante quem for both is ”ÖsÒ’s death on 18 Dhu l-Æijja 672/25 June 1274. Moreover it is likely that the letter in which Ibn KammÖna is addressed simply as al-dÊ{Ò al-mukhliÉ is the earlier of the two. Presumably it was written when Ibn KammÖna did not yet have the standing of an acknowledged philosopher. Another scholar Ibn KammÖna had contact with was KÊtibÒ, with whom he had two exchanges of correspondence. In one of them,67 KÊtibÒ addressed Ibn KammÖna as MawlÊ al-{allÊma afÓal al-{aÉr and Qudwat al-˜ukamÊx al-mu˜aqqiqÒn, and it is evident that the correspondents regarded each other as colleagues on equal standing. The correspondence further indicates that Ibn KammÖna had once participated in the majlis of KÊtibÒ at which a problem of logic was discussed. Ibn KammÖna took this as a point of departure for the correspondence, consisting of three letters addressed to KÊtibÒ and two replies by the latter, all of which are extant. The second correspondence dealing with the liar paradox is only partly extant in a brief quotation by JalÊl al-DÒn al-DawÊnÒ.68 Ibn KammÖna also corresponded with Maytham b. Maytham al-Ba˜rÊnÒ (d. 699/1300),69 a Twelver ShÒ{Ò scholar teaching in Æilla, who also had connections with the JuwaynÒ family; he dedicated several of his writings to {AlÊx al-Dawla {A¢Êx Malik al-JuwaynÒ (gov. 657–81/1259–83).70 With all three scholars it was Ibn KammÖna who took the initiative, addressing an epistle to them.

CHAPTER ONE

Two additional exchanges, in which Ibn KammÖna is the addressee, are extant, to some degree or other. One correspondent was a certain Fakhr al-DÒn al-KÊshÒ,71 about whose identity nothing is known.72 The second was Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò, as he himself reports in his Majma{ al-ÊdÊb, quoting Ibn KammÖna’s reply.73 He adds that he had approached him in writing in 683/1284–85, i.e., shortly before Ibn KammÖna’s death. With the exception of the exchange with Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò, none of the letters mentioned are dated, and with the exception of the exchange with KÊtibÒ none of the extant letters contain any indication that Ibn KammÖna had met his correspondents. They all belonged to NaÉÒr alDÒn al-”ÖsÒ’s circle at Maragha (with the exception perhaps of Fakhr al-DÒn al-KÊshÒ). The possibility that Ibn KammÖna paid a visit to Maragha, presumably at an earlier stage of his life, should not be ruled out. Yet there is no conclusive evidence for this. In his report on Ibn KammÖna in Majma{ al-ÊdÊb, Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò, who had lived for nearly twenty years (660–79/1261–62–1280–81) at Maragha serving as a librarian, writes as if he had never met Ibn KammÖna. This suggests that Ibn KammÖna never went to Maragha or, that, if he ever had, it was before 660/1261–62.74 During the period in which the JuwaynÒ family occupied the leading bureaucratic positions in the state, Ibn KammÖna apparently held a high-ranking position in their administration. A reliable indication of this is his title, {Izz al-Dawla.75 This is further supported by the fact that

See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.5.6 and Chapter Three, Text Eight. Fakhr al-DÒn also had a correspondence with Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ of which only the latter’s reply is extant (ms. Ayasofya 4862, ff. 268a–269b). 73 See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.5.7. 74 Majma{ al-ÊdÊb, vol. 1, pp. 190–91 (transl. Nemoy: “New Data,” p. 508): “. . . He was sought by many people who wished to profit from his instruction. It so happened that I myself was prevented from meeting him personally by an illness which overtook me, but I wrote him requesting to let me have a token of his instruction, so that I might embellish my work with it. He wrote in reply, through my colleague and friend Shams al-DÒn Mu˜ammad b. AbÒ al-RabÒ{, the calculator, known as al-Æashaf, in the year 683 . . .” 75 For the use of this and similar titles during the IlkhÊnid era, see Amnon Netzer: “RashÒd al-DÒn and His Jewish Background.” Irano-Judaica III.

in the introduction to his al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma and elsewhere he indicates that he was engaged in some professional activity which was in complete contrast to his scholarship.76 Moreover, there is no evidence that he was ever a regular teacher at one of the madrasas in Baghdad, and we do not know of any students of his, apart perhaps from the above-mentioned DawlatshÊh. He may have given some informal philosophical lectures, particularly near the end of his life. In some manuscripts of his works he is referred to by the scribes as mawlÊnÊ, sayyidunÊ, and shaykhunÊ, indicating that they regarded him as their teacher.77 Moreover, there is at least one piece of evidence that the copyist of one of his writings read the copy to him,78 and Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò mentions for the year 683/1284 that “he was sought by many people who wished to profit by his instruction.”79 At the end of his KalimÊt wajÒza, completed sometime before Sha{bÊn 678/December 1279, Ibn KammÖna remarks that weakening eyesight was preventing him from writing any longer.80 However, his physical 76 Ibn KammÖna: Al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, p. 146:12–13: fa-{amaltu hÊdhÊ l-kitÊb fÒ athnÊxi mÊ qad uljixtu ilayhi min mulÊbasat al-umÖr al-daniyya wa-l-shawÊghil al-dunyawiyya . . . See similarly his concluding words in his commentary on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt, completed in 671/1273, quoted below, Chapter Two, Section 1.1.1. 77 Cf., e.g., the title page of ms.

No further details about the latter copy are provided. 79 Majma{ al-ÊdÊb, vol. 1, p. 190; transl. Nemoy: “New Data,” p. 508. 80 See below, Chapter Three, Text One, p. 184.

Mu˜ammad ZÊfir al-WafÊxÒ and Mu˜ammad RawwÊs Qal{ajÒ. Rabat 1988, pp. 451–52. There it appears to be a weakness of vision occurring in one of the tunics of the eye. It is presumably a weakness of vision due to excessive discharge which was attributed at the time to a vapourous weakness associated with one of the tunics.

condition still allowed for substantial writing activity afterwards. In JumÊdÊ II 679/September-October 1280 he completed TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth, and between 21–30 Dhu l-Qa{da 679/14–23 March 1281 he finished a treatise on philosophy and/or theology, possibly entitled RisÊla fÒ l-kalÊm.81 In his TanqҘ Ibn KammÖna discussed the arguments for and against Judaism, Christianity and Islam as known from the earlier polemical literature. Being basically a work on interreligious theology, its contents are strikingly different from the author’s other philosophical writings. The only exception is his treatise on the differences between Rabbanites and Karaites, which is written in an equally objective style. In his introduction to the TanqҘ, Ibn KammÖna states that it was a discussion that had induced him to write the work, i.e., possibly a debate between representatives of the different religions. In 683/1284, four years after he had completed the TanqҘ, Ibn KammÖna was persecuted for having written it. The anonymous author of al-ÆawÊdith al-jÊmi{a relates the following incident for that year: In this year . . . it became known in Baghdad that the Jew {Izz al-Dawla Ibn KammÖna had written a volume entitled The Inquiries on the Three Faiths, in which he displayed impudence in the discussion of the prophecies. God keep us from repeating what he said. The infuriated mob rioted, and massed to attack his house and to kill him. The amÒr Tamaskai, prefect of Iraq, Majd-al-din b. al-AtÒr, and a group of high officials rode forth to the MustanÉirÒya madrasa, and summoned the supreme judge and the [law] teachers to hold a hearing on the affair. They sought Ibn KammÖna but he was in hiding. That day happened to be a Friday. The supreme judge set out for the prayer service but, as the mob blocked him, he returned to the MustanÉirÒya. Ibn al-AtÒr stepped out to calm the crowds, but these showered abuse upon him and accused him of being on the side of Ibn KammÖna, and of defending him. Then, upon the prefect’s order, it was heralded in Baghdad that, early the following morning, outside the city wall, Ibn KammÖna would be burned. The mob subsided, and no further reference to Ibn KammÖna was made. As for Ibn KammÖna, he was put into a leather-covered box and carried to Hilla where his son was serving as an official. There he stayed for a time until he died.82

The report does not explain why it was only after four years that the attention of the people of Baghdad was drawn to the work, leading to such a violent reaction, and there is no independent source confirming the report or providing further information. The time difference between the completion of the book and the riot suggests that there were additional circumstances leading to the persecution. Some time before the incident, on 4 Sha{bÊn 683/16 October 1284, Éʘib al-dÒwÊn Shams al-DÒn al-JuwaynÒ and several of his sons were executed, and it is likely that the immediate cause for Ibn KammÖna’s persecution was the execution of his patrons.83 Ibn KammÖna’s son was serving as an official in Æilla, which was possibly the reason why Ibn KammÖna chose to seek refuge there. Another reason may have been his contacts with some of the ShÒ{Ò scholars of Æilla. He had corresponded with Maytham b. Maytham alBa˜rÊnÒ, who had taught in that city for a time.84 Moreover, the fact that Ibn KammÖna’s Ma¢Êlib were later copied by a ShÒ{Ò scribe also points to some connections with the ShÒ{Ò community. The scribe who refers to Ibn KammÖna with the title al-mu˜aqqiq al-muftÒ even claims that he converted to ShÒ{ism at the end of his life.85 A further indication for the reception of Ibn Kammuna’s writings among the ShÒ{Òs of Æilla are the glosses on his Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt apparently written by NaÉÒr al-DÒn {AlÒ b. Mu˜ammad al-KÊshÒ (or al-KÊshÊnÒ) al-ÆillÒ (ca. 675–755/1276–1354),

Cf., by contrast, Perlmann’s introduction to his edition of TanqҘ (p. x), where he suggests that the persecutions may have been the result of the irritation of the Muslim population following the overthrow in 683/1284 of Ahmad Tegüder, who was a convert to Islam, by Arghun the son of Abaqa, who was a Buddhist. Dominique Urvoy (Les penseurs libres dans l’Islam classique. L’interrogation sur la religion chez les penseurs arabes indépendants. Paris 1996, p. 203) suggests, as a possible explanation for the difference in time between the composition of the work and the persecution, that initially it may have been written for a closed circle but that it reached the wider public later on when it caused deep resentment.—For an overview of Ilkhanid dynastic history and the issue of conversion among the Ilkhans, see Reuven Amitai: “Il-Khanids. i.

a ShÒ{Ò scholar of Æilla and Najaf,86 and a copy of his commentary on the TalwҘÊt, completed on 5 RabÒ{ II 762/12 February 1361 by Æasan b. Mu˜ammad b. Æasan b. al-Mu¢ahhar, apparently a grandson of the {AllÊma al-ÆillÒ (d. 726/1325).87 Again according to the ÆawÊdith, Ibn KammÖna died in Æilla a short while after his arrival. This is confirmed by the biographical entry on Ibn KammÖna contained in Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò’s Majma{ al-ÊdÊb, in which 683 is given as the year of his death.88 There has been debate in modern scholarship as to whether Ibn KammÖna converted to Islam at some stage of his life.89 In his late work, the TanqҘ, completed in 679/1280, i.e., some four years before his death, his loyalty to Judaism is beyond doubt, whereas his critical attitude towards Islam is equally clear. Particularly telling is the following passage towards the end of his chapter on Islam: Thus it becomes clear that there is no proof that Muhammad attained perfection and the ability to perfect others as claimed, nor that anything mentioned on this point has been proved at all—for example, the allegation that the world turned from falsehood to truth, from lie to veracity, from darkness to light, and so on. Yet precisely this has been the subject of dispute. That is why, to this day we never see anyone converting to Islam unless in terror, or in quest of power, or to avoid heavy taxation, or to escape humiliation, or if taken prisoner, or because of infatuation with a Muslim woman, or for some similar reason. Nor do we see a respected, wealthy, and pious non-Muslim well versed in both his faith and that of Islam, going over to the Islamic faith without some of the aforementioned or similar motives.90

INTRODUCTION

For a variety of reasons, some scholars have argued nevertheless that Ibn KammÖna converted to Islam even before he composed the TanqҘ. This was maintained by Moritz Steinschneider, who considered the eulogies for the Prophet Mu˜ammad in the TanqҘ to be clear indications that the author had become a Muslim.91 Another scholar who took Ibn KammÖna’s conversion to Islam prior to the composition of the TanqҘ as a historical fact was Carl Brockelmann. The reason was evidently a confusion between Samawxal al-MaghribÒ (d. 570/1175), the Jewish convert to Islam and author of the anti-Jewish polemical treatise If˜Êm al-yahÖd, and Ibn KammÖna that occurred in the card catalogue of the Süleymanie Library in Istanbul. There, the correspondence between Samawxal and an anonymous accuser who had doubted the sincerity of the latter’s conversion (as preserved in ms. Fâtih 3141/2) is ascribed to Ibn KammÖna.92 The entry in the Süleymanie Library’s card catalogue

See also the reviews on Perlmann’s edition of the TanqҘ by Kurt Rudolph (in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 67 ix/x (1972), pp. 462–65) and Rudi Paret (in Der Islam 46 (1970), pp. 102–104) who both reject the assumption of conversion on the basis of this text. This is also the view of Sarah Stroumsa (“On Jewish Intellectuals Who Converted in the Early Middle Ages.” In The Jews of Medieval Islam. Community, Society, and Identity. Ed. Daniel Frank. Leiden 1995, pp. 179–97, esp. 197). Friedrich Niewöhner, in contrast, denies any bias towards Judaism and against Islam on the basis of the TanqҘ; he considers Ibn KammÖna to have been a religious sceptic beyond religion; see his “Die Wahrheit ist eine Tochter der Zeit. Ibn KammÖna’s historisch-kritischer Religionsvergleich aus dem Jahre 1280.” In Religionsgespräche im Mittelalter. Eds. Bernard Lewis and Friedrich Niewöhner. Wiesbaden 1992, pp. 357–69 esp. p. 364: “Ibn KammÖna argumentiert in den Entgegnungen auf das Judentum von einem Standpunkt aus, der weder christlich noch islamisch ist, aber auch nicht jüdisch sein kann, da er sich ja gegen das Judentum richtet. Es ist somit ein Standpunkt außerhalb aller drei Religionen. Immer wenn Ibn KammÖna sagt ‚I say’, bedeutet das, daß er seine eigene Meinung sagt, die unabhängig von jeder Religion ist. Ibn KammÖna’s Standort ist der der Vernunft, der des eigenen Verstandes.” 91 Steinschneider: Polemische und apologetische Literatur, pp. 39–40. Moshe Perlmann accepts the validity of the argument, yet suggests that these may have been inserted by later copyists. See the introduction to his edition of TanqҘ, p. xii. 92 The card on ms Fâtih 3141/2 is to be found under the title Asxila va Acviba mbn KamÖnat al-IsrÊxÒlÒ.

was doubtless Brockelmann’s source, who ascribes the correspondence as preserved in ms. Fâtih 3141/2 to Ibn KammÖna. Brockelmann also states that Ibn KammÖna composed the TanqҘ following his conversion to Islam. He was evidently unfamiliar with the text and the studies of Leo Hirschfeld and Baneth.93 Confusion between Ibn KammÖna and Samawxal also occurs in ms. Köprülü 1612, containing Ibn KammÖna’s al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, copied in 691/1291–92 by {Abd al-{Aziz b. IbrÊhÒm b. al-KhÒmÒ al-MÊridÊnÒ in Baghdad.

Again, an exception among the testimonies is the aformentioned statement of an ImÊmÒ copyist of Ibn KammÖna’s Ma¢Êlib that the author had converted to Twelver ShÒ{ism at the end of his life.97 This statement may explain why ¹ghÊ Buzurg took his conversion to ShÒ{ism as historical fact; this is evidently why he included all writings of Ibn KammÖna he was aware of in his DharÒ{a—including the TanqҘ, although it is clear from the wording of the entry (DharÒ{a, vol. 4, p. 460 no. 2054) that he was unfamiliar with the text.98 Initially, ¹ghÊ Buzurg also intended to include an entry on Ibn KammÖna in his ”abaqÊt a{lÊm al-shÒ{a,99 and it was only later that he or his son {AlÒ NaqÒ MunzawÒ decided not to do so. MunzawÒ was familiar with Perlmann’s edition and translation of Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ and also edited and studied the work.100 Since he is the editor of most of the volumes (namely vols. 3–6) of the ”abaqÊt a{lÊm al-shÒ{a of his father, it may be that it was he rather than ¹ghÊ Buzurg who decided not to include an entry on Ibn KammÖna.101

97

See above n. 85. He also includes references to the various sophistries (shubahÊt) that supposedly originated with Ibn KammÖna, ascribing them, however, to his ancestor whom he identified explicitly as Hibat AllÊh Ibn KammÖna al-IsrÊxÒlÒ. See DharÒ{a, vol. 13, pp. 24–25: shubhat Ibn KammÖna wa-huwa Hibat AllÊh b. KammÖna al-IsrÊxÒlÒ min falÊsifat al-yahÖd kÊna mu{ÊÉiran li-Ibn SÒnÊ . . .; see also ibid., vol. 2, p. 286 no. 1160. For the shubahÊt, see below, pp. 44 ff. ¹ghÊ Buzurg was familiar with Kashf al-ØunÖn and its various entries on Ibn KammÖna where he is regularly described as al-IsrÊxÒlÒ, yet he apparently assumed that ÆÊjjÒ KhalÒfa confused {Izz al-Dawla Ibn KammÖna with his ancestor.

CHAPTER ONE

It cannot be decided conclusively whether Ibn KammÖna did or did not, at some stage, convert to Islam.102 Yet the evidence against such a conclusion seems to be stronger than the evidence suggesting conversion. His position towards Judaism and Islam as far as his personal convictions are concerned is, on the basis of his TanqҘ, beyond doubt. It cannot be excluded that he became a Muslim for any of the reasons mentioned at the end of the chapter on Islam; yet it seems questionable whether he would have written a work such as TanqҘ following a conversion on the grounds of persecution or for opportunistic motives.103 Another indicator against conversion is that he is invariably called {Izz al-Dawla by virtually all later scholars and scribes. Had he ever converted to Islam during his professional life, his title would have been modified into {Izz al-DÒn or {Izz al-Dawla wa-l-DÒn, as can be seen in the case of RashÒd al-Dawla (later: al-DÒn) FaÓl AllÊh.104 Had he converted to Islam See also ibid., vol. 7, p. 176:

Contemporary scholars at times take Ibn KammÖna’s conversion as historical fact without giving any reason for their assumption. See, e.g., Walbridge’s and Ziai’s “Translator’s Introduction” to their edition of SuhrawardÒ’s Æikmat al-IshrÊq (The Philosophy of Illumination. A New Critical Edition of the Text of Æikmat al-ishrÊq with English Translation, Notes, Commentary, and Introduction. Provo, Utah 1999, p. xxii), in which they talk about “the Jewish convert to Islam, Ibn KammÖna.” 103 This seems to be the view of Georges Vajda, who writes (“Le milieu juif à Ba¯dÊd.” Arabica 9 (1962), p. 392): “Ce n’est pas à dire que la communauté juive de Ba¯dÊd n’ait pas produit encore, au XIIe et au XIIIe siècles, quelques personnalités intellectuelles marquantes comme les philosophes Hibat AllÊh AbÖ l-BarakÊt et Ibn KammÖna, qui ont d’ailleurs, au déclin de leur carrière, payé un tribut aux circonstances adverses plutôt qu’à une conviction intime en se convertissant à l’IslÊm.” 104 See {AbbÊs ZaryÊb-KhÖxi: “Sih nukta dar bara-yi RashÒd al-DÒn FaÓl AllÊh.” In Proceedings of the Colloquium on RashÒd al-DÒn FaÓl AllÊh. Tehran-Tabriz, 11–16 Aban 1348 (2–7 November 1969). Tehran 1971, pp. 123–35; Netzer: “RashÒd al-DÒn and His Jewish Background.”—The only case we came across of the title {Izz al-DÒn being used for Ibn KammÖna by a Muslim is Moshe Perlmann’s edition of an anonymous refutation of Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ (“‘Proving Muhammad’s Prophethood’, A Muslim critique of Ibn Kammuna.” [Hebrew] In Hagut Ivrit Ba’Amerika. Studies on Jewish Themes by Contemporary American Scholars. Eds. Menahem Zohori, Arie Tartakover, and Haim Ormian. Vol. III. Tel Aviv 1974, p. 83:5). However, Perlmann clearly erred here, since the manuscript of the text has {Izz al-Dawla. For an improved edition of the text, see below, Appendix B: KitÊb fÒ ithbÊt al-nubuwwa li-Mu˜ammad {alayhi al-salÊm (ms. Hamidiye 1447/3).

before or during the persecution he experienced, either the anonymous author of al-ÆawÊdith al-jÊmi{a, or Ibn al-Fuwa¢Ò would have mentioned it. The possibility of his conversion to Twelver ShÒ{ism in Æilla during the last months of his life, as suggested by the copyist of the Ma¢Êlib, cannot be ruled out altogether. Yet again, it would be hard to believe that the author of the Tanqi˜ would have converted to Islam, once he had escaped persecution.105

3. Ibn KammÖna’s Philosophical Thought A comprehensive assessment of Ibn KammÖna’s philosophical thought can only be undertaken when critical editions of all his extant writings are available. In the following pages, only some basic outlines of his thought will be given. As a philosopher, Ibn KammÖna was a follower of Ibn SÒnÊ. With some modifications, his cosmology is Avicennan. His distinction between the One as the Necessary Existent (wÊjib al-wujÖd) and other existents as contingents (mumkinÊt) is also Avicennan, as is his notion of prophecy, explained in detail in the first chapter of his TanqҘ.106 One of the issues Ibn KammÖna was most concerned with is the human soul, and it is on this issue that he formulated his most distinct views. He wrote several independent treatises on the soul, three of which are extant.107 His detailed discussions of the human soul in his other philosophical treatises and commentaries also testify to his interest in the issue. The main sources for his psychology are again Ibn SÒnÊ’s writings. 105

Although it is almost certain that Ibn KammÖna remained Jewish throughout his life, there are clear indications in his writings that attest to his openness to and respect for Islam and possibly Christianity. He freely adduces QurxÊnic verses in his writings and uses the relevant eulogistic formula when mentioning the Prophet Mu˜ammad. As was said earlier (see above, n. 91), Perlmann suggests that these eulogies were added by later scribes. This is unlikely since they are to be found in copies of his writings made by both Muslim and Jewish scribes. Moreover, in his KalimÊt wajÒza (see below, Chapter Three, Text One), Ibn KammÖna uses the term al-sharÊ{ix al-˜aqqa which also indicates his respect for the three Abrahamic religions and their respective dispensations. 106 Some instances where Ibn KammÖna follows Ibn SÒnÊ have been indicated in Perlmann’s annotation to his edition of Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ. 107 See below, Chapter Two, Sections 1.3.8, 1.3.9, and 1.3.10.

CHAPTER ONE

However, he disagreed with Ibn SÒnÊ when he rejected the latter’s view that a human rational soul comes into existence with the birth of the body in which it inheres. Instead, he maintained the pre-eternity of the human soul. His main argument is that the human soul is simple (basÒ¢) while everything that is originated in time (˜adÒth) is a composite. Thus, the human rational soul must be pre-eternal (qadÒm). His arguments for the simplicity of the human soul and for simples being necessarily pre-eternal seem to be original—at least this is what Ibn KammÖna claims. Following SuhrawardÒ, Ibn KammÖna criticizes the arguments against the transmigration of souls and seems to take a non-commital position on the issue. This is also the view of SuhrawardÒ in his Æikmat al-ishrÊq and this is typical for later followers of SuhrawardÒ, such as Shams al-DÒn al-ShahrazÖrÒ and Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ.108 However, since he is the only one of them maintaining the pre-eternity of the soul, his understanding of transmigration must have been different from the notion upheld by SuhrawardÒ, ShahrazÖrÒ and presumably Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ, who agreed on its temporal origin.109 Apparently Ibn KammÖna was searching for Plato’s explanation for the eternity of the soul, as is suggested by his use of Miskawayh’s (d. 421/1030) al-Fawz alaÉghar in one of his maqÊlÊt devoted to the human soul. Ibn KammÖna was not entirely satisfied with the explanations he found there; he states that he was unable to grasp them fully as they lacked precision. Perhaps, he says, it was not originally presented as an apodictic proof (burhÊn) but rather rhetorically (kalÊman khi¢Êbiyyan) and only later was it understood by the later philosophers, including Miskawayh, as a syllogism.110 Ibn KammÖna was not a typical Peripatetic philosopher, as he did not hesitate to criticize Aristotle openly and to maintain views that disagreed with what were perceived to have been Aristotelian positions. His detachment from the Aristotelian tradition was apparently due

For the views of SuhrawardÒ and his early commentators on the issue of the transmigration of souls, see Sabine Schmidtke: “The Doctrine of the Transmigration of Soul according to ShihÊb al-DÒn al-SuhrawardÒ (killed 587/1191) and his Followers.” Studia Iranica 28 (1999), pp. 237–54. 109 I (S.S.) take the opportunity to correct what I wrote earlier, viz. that Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ was a follower of Ibn KammÖna on the issue of the pre-eternity of the soul (“The Doctrine of the Transmigration of Soul,” pp. 249–50). See also below, p. 32. 110 See his “MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan,” pp. 115–16.

to the influence of the writings of Abu l-BarakÊt al-BaghdÊdÒ and SuhrawardÒ on his thought. Ibn KammÖna repeatedly refers to al-KitÊb al-Mu{tabar, the magnum opus of the Jewish convert to Islam Abu l-BarakÊt al-BaghdÊdÒ. The controversial views of Abu l-BarakÊt in his Mu{tabar, which was a major critique of Aristotelian philosophy, were attacked by later scholars such as SuhrawardÒ, who disparagingly referred to him as ba{Ó man tafalsafa min al-yahÖd, Fakhr al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ and NaÉir al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ. Ibn KammÖna attempted to justify Abu l-BarakÊt’s positions on a number of issues and refered to him respectfully even when he maintained different views.111 ShihÊb al-DÒn al-SuhrawardÒ, the founder of the philosophy of illumination (˜ikmat al-ishrÊq), was another critic of mainstream Aristotelian philosophy. When Ibn KammÖna wrote a commentary upon the latter’s TalwҘÊt, SuhrawardÒ did not as yet figure among the higher ranks of philosophers, and it seems that Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ was the first commentary ever written on any of the works of SuhrawardÒ and that the popularity of this commentary influenced subsequent reception of the Shaykh al-ishrÊq. From his commentary on TalwҘÊt, as well as from some of his other writings, it is evident that Ibn KammÖna was familiar with and used SuhrawardÒ’s other philosophical works in Arabic, namely his Æikmat al-ishrÊq, al-MashÊri{ wa-l-Mu¢Êra˜Êt, al-MuqÊwamÊt, al-Alwʘ al-{imÊdiyya and his Kalimat al-taÉawwuf. While he explicitly refers to the first three works mentioned, he never mentions Kalimat al-taÉawwuf by name although he used it extensively, particularly those parts containing moral advice and mystical instructions, many of which Ibn KammÖna adduced in his KalimÊt wajÒza and some of his other writings.112 Ibn KammÖna followed SuhrawardÒ in a number of issues, such as the principle of the most noble contingency (qÊ{idat al-imkÊn al-ashraf ), his admission of movement in substance, his non-commital position on the issue of the transmigration of souls and his uncertainty about the

111 See, e.g., his Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt. Eds. Ziai and Alwishah, pp. 267–69. Ibn KammÖna also refers repeatedly to Abu l-BarakÊt in his maqÊlas on the human soul. 112 See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.1.2 for references to other writings by SuhrawardÒ in his Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt, and Chapter Three, Text One where adoptions from Kalimat al-taÉawwuf have been mentioned in the annotation.

CHAPTER ONE

number of spheres. Moreover, like SuhrawardÒ, Ibn KammÖna was not interested in mathematics, which he never addressed in his writings. Yet it would be inappropriate to consider Ibn KammÖna a follower of SuhrawardÒ, as he disagreed with him on certain issues such as the preeternity of the soul. There are aspects of SuhrawardÒ’s thought and œuvre that Ibn KammÖna ignored, and there is no reference in his work to any of the allegorical writings of SuhrawardÒ, most of which are written in Persian and therefore may have been inaccessible to Ibn KammÖna. But he also never referred to those composed in Arabic, just as he ignored any writings by Ibn SÒnÊ in this genre. Moreover, Ibn KammÖna did not share SuhrawardÒ’s veneration of the ancient philosophers of Persia, Egypt and Greece, and likewise he was not interested in SuhrawardÒ’s specific terminology, which was derived from pre-Islamic Persian notions and figured prominently in his Æikmat al-ishrÊq. Ibn KammÖna was also familiar with, and made extensive use of, the writings of AbÖ ÆÊmid al-GhazzÊlÒ (d. 505/1111) and Fakhr alDÒn al-RÊzÒ. As has been pointed out by Perlmann, Ibn KammÖna used GhazzÊlÒ’s TahÊfut al-falÊsifa and his Munqidh min al-ÓalÊl in his TanqҘ,113 and in his commentary on the TalwҘÊt he used GhazzÊlÒ’s MishkÊt al-anwÊr.114 In his various maqÊlas on nafs Ibn KammÖna rejected GhazzÊlÒ’s view on the soul, presumably having his TahÊfut al-falÊsifa in mind.115 Moreover, in his KalimÊt wajÒza and IthbÊt al-mabdax Ibn KammÖna adduced some pieces of moral advice which he seems to have paraphrazed from GhazzÊlÒ’s I˜yÊx {ulÖm al-dÒn.116 His familiarity with RÊzÒ’s writings is evident from his superglosses on the latter’s Ma{Êlim, in which he constantly refers to other writings by RÊzÒ, namely his NihÊyat al-{uqÖl, his Mu˜aÉÉal and his KitÊb al-Arba{Òn, and the fact that

BarkhwÊh, p. 124), Ibn KammÖna says that he was familiar with GhazzÊlÒ’s view on the soul, which he rejected. 116 For example GhazzÊlÒ’s prohibition on cursing (la{n) others and his argument that it is not a sin to refrain from cursing Satan (IblÒs), let alone others.

See below, Chapter Three, Text One (p. 164) and Text Two (p. 190). 114

he quoted a great deal from his writings in the TanqҘ.117 Ibn KammÖna had studied RÊzÒ’s Mu˜aÉÉal, together with the critical commentary on it by ”ÖsÒ, as is evident from the extant excerpts.118 Ibn KammÖna was also familiar with RÊzÒ’s view on the soul, which he criticized in his superglosses on his Ma{Êlim and in his MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs alinsÊn bÊqiya abadan.119 In addition, he was well-acquainted with RÊzÒ’s views on logic, to which he refers in his commentaries on TalwҘÊt and IshÊrÊt.120 At some stage in his life Ibn KammÖna also became familiar with Najm al-DÒn AbÖ Bakr Mu˜ammad al-NakhjawÊnÒ and his critical commentaries on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt. However, although he studied his writings closely, as is evident from the extant extracts that he copied,121 there is no evidence that NakhjawÊnÒ had any influence on his thought. Rather, Ibn KammÖna seems to have disapproved of his criticism.122 Moreover, since Ibn KammÖna’s epitomes of NakhjawÊnÒ’s critical commentaries on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt were written some eight years after he had completed his own commentary on the work, in which there is 117

This is the case particularly in Chapters One and Four. See, e.g., TanqҘ. Ed. Perlmann, pp. 7, 8, 10, 18, 19, 69, 86, 88. 118 See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.2.1. 119 See ed. BarkhwÊh, p. 124 where he explicitly mentions RÊzÒ as an opponent of the philosophical notion of the soul. 120 See, e.g., Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt [part I, marÉad 1, talwҘ 1: fÒ gharaÓ al-man¢iq]. Ed. MÖsawÒ, p. 9; Shar˜ al-ishÊrÊt. Ms. Ragıp Pa‘a 845, f. 42b. In both instances, he specifically refers to RÊzÒ’s notion of conception and consent. 121 See below, Chapter Two, Sections 1.2.6 and 1.2.7. 122 According to ¹ghÊ Buzurg (DharÒ{a, vol. 2, p. 97 no. 382), Ibn KammÖna writes at the end of his excerpts from NakhjawÊnÒ’s al-I{tirÊÓÊt min KitÊb Zubdat al-naqÓ wa-lubÊb al-kashf:

.̴̧̾̊ ǮǪǵ˅˺ҝǪ ̘̰˾߼ ‫̻̱˗ޠ‬ȇ ˅у̰̉ ǬǪ̸߫Ǫ ̢̬؈ Ǯ˅̀Ǫ‫̊ٵ‬ҡǪ ҍ˱̵ ‫̟ٶ‬Ǧ ȅǨ There is so far no study of NakhjawÊnÒ, and none of his writings have as yet been edited. See the brief sketches provided by ShabÒbÒ: TurÊthunÊ, pp. 100–4, MÖsÊ MÖsawÒ: Min al-SuhrawardÒ ilÊ l-ShÒrÊzÒ. Beirut 1979, pp. 79–87 (most of the material adduced by MÖsawÒ is based on ShabÒbÒ’s account), and Mudarris RaÓawÒ: A˜wÊl u ÊthÊr, pp. 195, 565.—NakhjawÊnÒ also has a work on medicine which is extant in manuscript: Ajwiba {an i{tirÊÓÊt Fakhr al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ li-l-qÊnÖn (ms. Ayasofya 3721, ff. 1a–66b). Another manuscript of the same text is extant in Paris; see Ferdinand Wüstenfeld: Geschichte der arabischen Aerzte und Naturforscher. Nach den Quellen bearbeitet. Göttingen 1840, p. 131 no. 233.—There are some indications that he may also be the author of a MathnawÒ entitled ”arÒq al-ta˜qÒq, the authorship of which is still disputed (ed. Bo Utas. Lund 1973).

CHAPTER ONE

no trace of NakhjawÊnÒ, he seems to have become acquainted with the latter’s writings at a relatively late stage of his life. Among the philosophers of his own time, Ibn KammÖna had studied in depth the writings of NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-TÖsÒ, KÊtibÒ, and AthÒr alDÒn al-AbharÒ. In the introduction to his commentary on IshÊrÊt, Ibn KammÖna states that he has made extensive use of ”ÖsÒ’s commentary. KÊtibÒ’s works and notions repeatedly served as a point of departure for his writings, and in his commentary on the TalwҘÊt Ibn KammÖna explicitly refers to AbharÒ’s MuntahÊ al-afkÊr.123 There are also indications that he used AbharÒ’s Kashf al-˜aqÊxiq.124

4. The Reception of Ibn KammÖna in later Muslim Thought Ibn KammÖna was one of the most popular and influential philosophers of the Eastern lands of Islam both during his lifetime and in the decades following his death. It was his commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt that was copied and read most, followed by his independent philosophical work al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma. Numerous manuscript copies of his Shar˜ alTalwi˜Êt were produced during this period, not only in Baghdad but also in places such as Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad, and possibly Najaf. Some of the copies made in Baghdad were transcribed in the NiØÊmiyya madrasa.125 Given the quantity of manuscript copies of this commentary and the fact that it quickly became available in many of the cultural centres of the Eastern lands of Islam—as compared with ShahrazÖrÒ’s commentary on the TalwҘÊt—126 Ibn KammÖna very soon became known as the “commentator on the TalwҘÊt” (shÊri˜ al-TalwҘÊt).127 Most 123

See Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt [part III, mawrid 1, talwҘ 1: fÒ dhÊtihÒ]. Ed. MÖsawÒ, p. 701. FarÊmarz QarÊmalikÒ states that the way Ibn KammÖna presented the liar paradox is apparently taken from AbharÒ’s Kashf al-˜aqÊxiq. See his “KitÊbshinÊsÒ ta˜lÒlÒyi paradox-i DurÖghgÖ,” p. 33. 125 For details, see below, Chapter Two, Section 1.1.2. 126 Ritter I, pp. 273–75 lists only four copies of ShahrazÖrÒ’s commentary. 127 As reference is given to him by JalÊl al-DÒn al-DawÊnÒ (“ShawÊkil al-˜Ör.” In ThalÊth rasÊxil.

of the extant copies of his al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma were also produced during the fifty years following his death.128 The most immediate influence his philosophical writings and notions had was on his younger contemporary Qu¢b al-DÒn Ma˜mÖd al-ShÒrÊzÒ (634–710/1236–1311).129 It is not known whether or not the two ever met. Qu¢b al-DÒn is known to have spent some time in Baghdad between 665/1266 and 667/1268, and he could have met Ibn KammÖna there.130 Qu¢b al-DÒn wrote two major philosophical works, a commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s Æikmat al-ishrÊq in Arabic, completed in 694/1295,131 and an independent encyclopaedic work written in Persian, Durrat al-tÊj lighurrat al-dubbÊj, completed between 693/1294 and 705/1306, which contains an extensive section on philosophy.132 Both works testify to the profound impact that the writings of Ibn KammÖna had on Qu¢b alDÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ.

Qum 1416/[1995– 96], p. 67:7). 128 See below, Chapter Two, Section 1.3.1. 129 The influence of Ibn KammÖna’s writings on those of his contemporary Shams al-DÒn al-ShahrazÖrÒ still needs to be studied in depth. In his edition of vol. 2 [containing al-RisÊla al-rÊbi{a fÒ l-{ulÖm al-¢abÒ{ iyya] of ShahrazÖrÒ’s RasÊxil al-Shajara alilÊhiyya, NajafqulÒ ÆabÒbÒ has shown that ShahrazÖrÒ has numerous adoptions therein from Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt (Tehran 1384/2006). 130 For the main stages of Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ’s biography, see Walbridge: Science of Mystical Lights, pp. 7–24. 131 Shar˜ Æikmat al-ishrÊq has been published at least twice: Lithograph edition by Asad AllÊh HarÊtÒ. Tehran 1313–15/1895–97, containing also MullÊ ÂadrÊ’s glosses on Qu¢b al-DÒn’s commentary [recently reprinted without place and date]. Critical edition by {Abd AllÊh NÖrÊnÒ and MahdÒ Mu˜aqqiq. Tehran 1380/2001. If not stated otherwise, we will refer in the following to the critical edition only. Hans Daiber mentions another edition by IbrÊhÒm ”abÊ¢abÊxÒ (Tehran 1934) which was not available to us (Bibliography of Islamic Philosophy, vol. 1, p. 751 no. 7316). 132 No complete edition of Durrat al-tÊj is yet available. Between 1317–20/1938–41 Sayyid Mu˜ammad MishkÊt published five portions of the work, namely fÊti˜a, jumla 1: logic (man¢iq), jumla 2: first philosophy ( falsafa-yi ÖlÊ), jumla 3: physics ({ilm-i ¢abÒ{Ò), and jumla 5: metaphysics ({ilm-i ilÊhÒ). The third edition which was at our disposal (Tehran 1369/1990) has the original pagination for each separate volume, as well as consecutive pagination for the editor’s introduction and all five volumes; in the following only the consecutive pagination will be given. Sayyid Æasan MishkÊn ”abasÒ in 1324/ 1945 published portions of jumla 4 on mathematics ({ilm-i riyÊÓÒ), and in 1369/1991, MÊhdukhtbÊnÖ HumÊxÒ published sections three and four of the khÊtima.

CHAPTER ONE

In the introduction to his Shar˜ Æikmat al-IshrÊq, Qu¢b al-DÒn mentions without any further qualification that he had made use of other commentaries on SuhrawardÒ’s writings when writing his own.133 His main source is the one on the same text by ShahrazÖrÒ, completed nine years before Qu¢b al-DÒn wrote his.134 The dependence of Qu¢b alDÒn’s commentary on the Shar˜ of ShahrazÖrÒ has been well established ever since the study on the two commentaries by Corbin.135 Less well known hitherto has been that Qu¢b al-DÒn also relied heavily on Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt in his commentary which contains numerous quotations and borrowings from Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜.136 Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ offers some general elaborations on a variety of issues, taken from Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt with only minor modifications. In none of these cases does he indicate his source. They include (1) elaborations on the philosophical principle that God does not act with specific objectives, for an agent who acts with an objective does so to reach self-perfection and must therefore be deficient. The entire passage in Qu¢b al-DÒn’s commentary is meant to clarify SuhrawardÒ’s statement that the motion of the celestial spheres is not for the sake of what lies beneath them (inna ˜arakat al-barÊzikh al-{alawiyya laysat limÊ ta˜tahÊ);137 (2) his critical remarks about the Ash{arite notion of the

Ibn KammÖna agreed with SuhrawardÒ’s position but criticized his argument for it, and Qu¢b al-DÒn incorporated the relevant passages in his Shar˜.144 Ibn KammÖna also criticized one of part 2, discourse 3, chapter 4] which is taken from part III of Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ alTalwҘÊt [mawrid 2, talwҘ 1: fÒ l-ghanÒ].

CHAPTER ONE

SuhrawardÒ’s arguments against atomism as inadequate, and Qu¢b alDÒn quoted the relevant passages in his commentary.145 In addition to these borrowings, Qu¢b al-DÒn mentioned some positions of Ibn KammÖna which he did not share, such as the view that the simple cannot emanate from the composite146 and on the preeternity of the soul.147 In his summaries of Ibn KammÖna’s views on these issues, Qu¢b al-DÒn evidently used other works by him other than Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt. With regard to the first issue, Qu¢b al-DÒn states that he formulated the argument himself with minimal modifications (ma{a adnÊ taghyÒr), using various writings by Ibn KammÖna. Various passages with similar wording to Qu¢b al-DÒn’s, but none of which seems to have been Qu¢b al-DÒn’s exclusive source, can be found in his MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan,148 MaqÊla fÒ anna l-nafs laysat bi-mizÊj albadan wa-lÊ kÊxina {an mizÊj al-badan,149 and al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma,150 of which the first text mentioned was apparently his main source.151 In regard to the second issue, viz. Ibn KammÖna’s view on the pre-eternity of the soul, Qu¢b al-DÒn partly quotes and partly summarizes his MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan.152 In both cases Qu¢b al-DÒn ascribed the views mentioned to ba{Ó al-mu{ÊÉirÒn min al-afÊÓil or ba{Ó alafÊÓil min al-mu{ÊÉirÒn in order to make it clear that he did not share them. Such references were apparently understood by the readers of the time to refer to Ibn KammÖna.153 part 1, discourse 3, principle stating that the simple may emanate from the composite] which is taken from part II of Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt [FaÉl fÒ l-jism al-muta˜arrik wa-l-mayl ].

INTRODUCTION

The impact of Ibn KammÖna on Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ is even more evident in the latter’s Durrat al-TÊj. The work consists of a fÊti˜a, five portions (sg. jumla), and an epilogue (khÊtima). The five portions constituting the main body of the work deal with 1. logic, 2. first philosophy ( falsafa-yi ÖlÊ), 3. physics, 4. mathematics and 5. metaphysics. The sections dealing with first philosophy, physics and metaphysics ( jumla 2, 3, and 5) are translations of chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of Ibn KammÖna’s alJadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma. Qu¢b al-DÒn even kept editorial statements that disagree with the context of Durrat al-tÊj. In the section on first philosophy, for example, he translated Ibn KammÖna’s statement that the discussion on al-kayfiyyÊt bi-l-kam al-munfaÉil belonged to arithmetics, which is beyond the purpose of the book, i.e., al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma (pp. 281–82), although Qu¢b al-DÒn treats arithmetics at length in jumla 4. The text of jumla 1 of Durrat al-tÊj, dealing with logic, is far less dependent on the JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma. The text of the first three chapters (maqÊlat) of this section is independent from Ibn KammÖna’s JadÒd, although Qu¢b al-DÒn was clearly inspired by the work, as the number of chapters and the respective chapter headings correspond exactly with those in the JadÒd. Chapters 4, 5, and 7 of the portion on logic are again dependent on Ibn KammÖna’s work; here Qu¢b al-DÒn translated, with minor exceptions, the corresponding chapters of al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, supplementing them with copious commentary, exemplifying or other additions. In some cases Qu¢b al-DÒn adds critical remarks directed against ba{ÓÒ mutaxakhkhirÊn or ba{ÓÒ az mutaxakhkhirÊn, whose identity still needs to be clarified.154 Throughout chapters 4, 5, and 7, moreover, he makes a number of editorial changes. He further subdivides the material presented in each chapter of the logic section into several ta{lÒm, even when taking material from Ibn KammÖna. Chapter 6 is a verbatim translation of the corresponding Chapter ( faÉl) Six of al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma.155

CHAPTER ONE

Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ had a number of Ibn KammÖna’s writings in his possession, among them a copy of Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-talwҘÊt, which in 692/1292–93 he gave as a gift to a prince.156 He also wrote a codex, copied around 685/1286 in Konya, containing Ibn KammÖna’s KalimÊt wajÒza, TanqҘ and possibly JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, which is partially preserved.157 In addition, two incomplete copies of the codex are extant. One of them (ms. Majlis 593) was written in 1060/1650.158 This copy does not contain al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, which is included, however, in a

156 Ms. Ahmed III 3244 (= Topkapı 6707). In the dedication written by Qu¢b alDÒn’s hand (f. 1a), Ibn KammÖna is referred to as al-ImÊm al-fÊÓil wa-l-˜akÒm al-kÊmil, see below, Chapter Two, Section 1.1.2. 157 Ms. Mar{ashÒ 12868. The codex contains the following items: (1) Fragment from an unidentified philosophical work (f. 1 [heavily destroyed]); (2) various poems in Arabic (f. 2); (3) various poems in Arabic and Persian (f. 3a); (4) fragment of report about a conversation between Aristotle and Alexander (f. 3b); (5) fragment of Majlis-i maktÖb-i KhwÊrazm by ShahrastÊnÒ (ff. 4a–22a); (6) an anonymous Persian history of the Mongols (ff. 22b–39b); (7) Ibn KammÖna: KalimÊt wajÒza (ff. 40a–59b); (8) Ibn KammÖna: TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth (ff. 59b–126b); (9) min kalÊm Aris¢Ö (ff. 126b–128b); (10) various poems in Persian (f. 129); (11) Samawxal al-MaghribÒ: If˜Êm al-yahÖd (ff. 130a–144b); (12) Nuskhat masxala waradat {alÊ Samawxal min ba{Ó al-zanÊdiqa al-mutafalsifa (ff. 144b–145b); (13) Nuskhat aljawÊb [li-Samawxal al-MaghribÒ] (ff. 145b–147a); (14) fragment from an unidentified work apparently on medicine (f. 147).

We are grateful to Sayyid Ma˜mÖd Mar{ashÒ NajafÒ for having provided us with a copy of this codex. 158 Ms. Majlis 593 consists of 203 pp. [from p. 100 onwards, the codex is also foliated, p. 100 being f. 17a], 19 lines to a page, 24,5 × 15,5 cm; it contains the following items: (1) Fragment from an unidentified work, apparently on philosophy (p. 1); (2) Fragment from an unidentified philosophical work (p. 2); (3) Ibn KammÖna: KalimÊt wajÒza (pp. 3–40); (4) Majlis-i maktÖb-i KhwÊrazm by ShahrastÊnÒ (pp. 40:5–69); (5) Ibn KammÖna: TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth (pp. 69–178); (6) Samawxal al-MaghribÒ: If˜Êm alyahÖd (pp. 178–199:16); (7) Nuskhat masxala waradat {alÊ Samawxal min ba{Ó al-zanÊdiqa al-mutafalsifa (pp. 199:17–200:16); (8) Nuskhat al-jawÊb [li-Samawxal al-MaghribÒ] (pp. 200:17–202); (9) Excerpt from an unidentified philosophical work (pp. 202:15– 203).

second copy taken from the ShÒrÊzÒ codex (ms. Fâtih 3141).159 The Fâtih codex was written by TÊj al-DÒn al-KirmÊnÒ, a student of Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ.160 Although the scribe does not mention his source, there are indications which make it patently clear that he had the original ShÒrÊzÒ codex at his disposal. His codex contains most of the writings also included in the original codex, and the similarity of the versions of Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ and KalimÊt wajÒza preserved in both codices likewise points to the ShÒrÊzÒ codex as its Vorlage. It is likely that Qu¢b al-DÒn also possessed a copy of Ibn KammÖna’s MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan which he used in his commentary on Æikmat al-ishrÊq. Presumably Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ encouraged his students to read the writings of Ibn KammÖna. Numerous copies of the works of Ibn KammÖna were made between 690/1291 and 710/1309 when Qu¢b al-DÒn was active as a teacher.161 It is possible that apart from TÊj al-DÒn al-KirmÊnÒ there were other students of Qu¢b al-DÒn, whose connection to him as a teacher has not been as yet established, who copied the works of Ibn KammÖna.162

159 Ms. Fâtih 3141 (293ff, 20/25 lines to a page, 8 x 16,5 cm) contains the following items: (1) Ibn KammÖna: Al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma ff. 1–158 (= ed. ÆamÒd Mar{Òd al-KabÒsÒ (Baghdad 1403/1982), pp. 145:1–498:7), ff. 160–172 (= pp. 498:7–531:7), f. 159 (= pp. 531:8–533:3), f. 210 (= ed. pp. 533:3–536:22), ff. 173–201 (= pp. 536:22–598:4); (2) Ibn KammÖna: TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth, ff. 202–209 (= ed.

An in-depth study of Qu¢b al-DÒn’s teaching activities would require, among other things, a thorough investigation of all extant manuscripts of his writings. Such an investigation would also bring to light some of the erroneous attributions, such as his presumably alleged commentaries on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt and his NajÊt. For his commentary on Ibn SÒnÊ’s NajÊt, reference is given to ms. Damat lbrahim Pa‘a 817, and for his commentary on the IshÊrÊt to ms. Ragıp Pa‘a 861; see John Walbridge: The Philosophy of Qutb al-DÒn ShÒrÊzÒ. A Study in the Integration of Islamic Philosophy. PhD thesis: Harvard University Cambridge, Mass., 1983,

CHAPTER ONE

For over a century and a half after the death of Qu¢b al-DÒn alShÒrÊzÒ, knowledge of Ibn KammÖna among Muslims remained limited to his commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt. In the first half of the 8th/14th century, glosses were written on the commentary by NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-KÊshÒ (or al-KÊshÊnÒ) al-ÆillÒ.163 Another philosopher of the 8th/14th century who made use of Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt was Qu¢b al-DÒn Mu˜ammad al-RÊzÒ al-BuwayhÒ (d. 766/1365), who quotes a long passage from the commentary in his RisÊla fÒ l-taÉawwur wal-taÉdÒq, including Ibn KammÖna’s definitions of conception and assent, indicating his source.164 He was presumably also aware that Qu¢b alDÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ followed Ibn KammÖna on this issue, for immediately after quoting Ibn KammÖna’s words he refers to Qu¢b al-DÒn as “one of them” (ba{Óahum) and quotes a few lines from his Shar˜ Æikmat al-IshrÊq, pp. 244, 247. An examination of these two manuscripts shows, however, that the former is Fakhr al-DÒn al-IsfarÊyinÒ’s commentary on the NajÊt, while the latter is Qu¢b al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ’s al-Mu˜ÊkamÊt bayn Shar˜ay al-IshÊrÊt. For a preliminary overview of manuscripts of writings of Qu¢b al-DÒn, see ibid., pp. 235–76: Appendix C: Qu¢b al-DÒn’s Works. The list was compiled on the basis of reference works and manuscript catalogues, and Walbridge apparently did not have the opportunity to inspect the manuscripts himself. 163 Extant in the margins of the commentary in ms.

which are Qu¢b al-DÒn’s concluding words to the same quotation taken from Ibn KammÖna’s commentary on the TalwҘÊt with no mention of its origin.165 Shams al-DÒn Mu˜ammad Ibn MubÊrakshÊh al-BukhÊrÒ (d. after 760/1359) also used Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-Talwi˜Êt in his commentary on KÊtibÒ’s Æikmat al-{ayn and explicitly referred to it.166 Like Qu¢b al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ, he was aware of Ibn KammÖna’s impact on Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ’s Shar˜ Æikmat al-IshrÊq, and he is the first to mention it explicitly.167 In the 9th/15th century, JalÊl al-DÒn Mu˜ammad al-DawÊnÒ (d. 908/1502) departed from the pattern of his predecessors by using a wider range of writings by Ibn KammÖna.168 In his commentary on HayÊkil al-nÖr, completed on 11 ShawwÊl 872/4 May 1468, DawÊnÒ refers to Ibn KammÖna’s discussion of the proof for the uniqueness of God (isti˜Êlat wujÖd wÊjibayn / wa˜dat wÊjib al-wujÖd).169 Ibn KammÖna had dealt with this issue first in his Ma¢Êlib, completed in Sha{bÊn 657/ July-August 1259. There he sets out to prove that the species (naw{ ) of the Necessary Existent is specific to Him, i.e., that it is not shared by any other being (wÊjib al-wujÖd yajibu an yakÖna naw{uhÖ fÒ shakhÉihÒ ay lÊ yakÖnu min dhÊlika l-naw{ siwÊ shakhÉ wʘid),170 and the subsequent proof 165 Qu¢b al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ: “al-RisÊla fÒ l-taÉawwur wa-l-taÉdÒq,” p. 121:5: qÊla ba{Óuhum fÒ l-farq bayn al-˜ukm wa-l-taÉdÒq . . . The quote (p. 121:5–9) is taken from Qu¢b al-DÒn alShÒrÊzÒ: Shar˜ Æikmat al-ishrÊq, pp. 41:24–42:3. 166 Shams al-DÒn Mu˜ammad Ibn MubÊrakshÊh al-BukhÊrÒ: Shar˜ Hikmat al-{ayn.

he adduces is meant to show the impossibility of His species being shared by two necessary beings (law ˜aÉala min naw{ihÒ shakhÉÊn . . .).171 Ibn KammÖna concludes the proof by pointing out that all it shows is that there cannot be two necessary existents sharing the same essence ( faqad bÊna min hÊdhÊ isti˜Êlat wujÖd wÊjibayn mutashÊrikayn fÒ l-mÊhiyya). It is not an adequate proof that there cannot be two necessary existents, each being the only representative within its own specific species (wa-lÊ yantiju hÊdhÊ l-burhÊn isti˜Êlat wujÖd wÊjibayn kayfa kÊnÊ li-annahÖ min al-jÊxiz fÒ l-{aql an yakÖna fÒ l-wujÖd mawjÖdÊn naw{ kull wʘid minhumÊ fÒ shakhÉihÒ wa-yakÖnÊn mutashÊrikayn fÒ wujÖb al-wujÖd ). To rule this out, he continues, would require a different proof, and he admits that so far he has been unable to work out an appropriate proof ( fa-hÊdhÊ l-i˜timÊl in imtana{a kÊna imtinÊ{uhÖ bi-burhÊn ghayr hÊdhÊ l-burhÊn wa-lam aØfar bihÒ ilÊ l-Ên).172 DawÊnÒ inserts in his ShawÊkil al-˜Ör fÒ shar˜ HayÊkil al-nÖr the whole passage that contains Ibn KammÖna’s criticism, together with the latter’s confession that he had been unable to formulate an appropriate proof to settle the issue. DawÊnÒ does not give the title of the Ma¢Êlib, but refers to his source as “one of his writings” (ba{Ó taÉÊnÒfihÒ ).173 Ibn

(p. 535:5–6), he formulates this principle as follows: kull mÊ huwa wÊjib al-wujÖd li-dhÊtihÒ fa-inna naw{ahÖ lÊ budda wa-an yan˜aÉira fÒ shakhÉihÒ . . . Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ translates this passage as follows (Durrat al-tÊj. Ed.

INTRODUCTION

KammÖna seems to have pondered the problem intensively after having completed his Ma¢Êlib, for he supplies a proof in his TaqrÒb al-ma˜ajja completed in Dhu l-Æijja 657/November 1259, i.e., some three months after the composition of the Ma¢Êlib. Here he argues that all parts of the world are inseparably linked to each other so that the entirety of creation constitutes one composite. If there were two necessary existents they would both necessarily be perfect causes ({illa tÊmma). This, however, is incompatible with creation being one composite.174 DawÊnÒ does not seem to have known Ibn KammÖna’s TaqrÒb al-ma˜ajja, but he was familiar with his al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma (completed in 676/1278), containing a detailed discussion of this issue.175 Here Ibn KammÖna’s main argument is that if there were two necessary existents, regardless of whether they are of the same or different species, they would share the necessity of their existence (wujÖb al-wujÖd), and since the two necessary existents are not the same, the necessity of existence could not be part of their essence (mÊhiyya) or reality (˜aqÒqa) but would have to be something additional, accidental ({araÓÒ ), which is absurd.176 DawÊnÒ adduces this 174

proof in his ShawÊkil al-˜Ör, quoting from it the most significant passages which, he explicitly states, are Ibn KammÖna’s words in his KÊshif (i.e. al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma).177 DawÊnÒ adduces some critical remarks against this proof and argues that regardless of whether the existence of God and of contingent beings is the same only by analogy (bi-l-tashkÒk) (as is upheld by the Peripatetics) or whether existence is understood as light (nÖr) as maintained by the people of illumination ({alÊ dhawq ahl al-ishrÊq), with regard to God there is nothing but pure existence. Thus the entire discussion about whether there can be two necessary existents and the subsequent considerations of the possible ontological foundations of the necessity of their respective existence is superfluous.178 In his RisÊlat IthbÊt al-wÊjib al-jadÒda DawÊnÒ discusses the issue again in more detail.179 Here again he quotes Ibn KammÖna’s remarks from the Ma¢Êlib and makes the same arguments he presented in his ShawÊkil al-˜Ör. He adds that this issue is the most subtle and most significant problem in the discipline of metaphysics and that he is the first to have dealt with it adequately.180 The problem of the proof for the uniqueness of the Necessary Existent DawÊnÒ derived from Ibn KammÖna’s writings subsequently developed into one of the most popular philosophical problems, and it was later

named after Ibn KammÖna as “Ibn KammÖna’s Sophistry regarding the Uniqueness of God” (shubhat Ibn KammÖna fÒ l-taw˜Òd). DawÊnÒ also referred briefly to Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt in his commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s HayÊkil al-nÖr when dealing with a passage on the pre-eternity of the soul.181 Moreover, in his second supercommentary on ”ÖsÒ’s TajrÒd al-{aqÊxid, and later on in his independent treatise on the liar paradox, NihÊyat al-kalÊm fÒ ˜all shubhat jadhr al-aÉamm, he quotes from a correspondence between Ibn KammÖna and KÊtibÒ on this problem.182 There is only little indication that philosophers who came after DawÊnÒ used any work by Ibn KammÖna other than his commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt. Moreover, it also seems that after DawÊnÒ most scholars no longer learned of Ibn KammÖna through his own writings, but mostly through secondary sources. The most important sources for the later reception of Ibn KammÖna were the writings of DawÊnÒ and to some extent also those of Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ, although later philosophers were often no longer aware of the influence that Ibn KammÖna had on Qu¢b al-DÒn’s writings. DawÊnÒ’s contemporary, Âadr al-DÒn al-DashtakÒ (d. 903/1498), for example, quoted Ibn KammÖna’s solution to the liar paradox from his correspondence with KÊtibÒ in his second supercommentary on {AlÒ QÖshchÒ’s (d. 879/1474–75) commentary on ”ÖsÒ’s TajrÒd al-{aqÊxid and in his independent treatise on the problem, RisÊla fÒ shubhat jadhr al-aÉamm.183 Since DashtakÒ did not add anything to what had been quoted from the correspondence by DawÊnÒ, it is likely that the quotations in the latter’s writings were

his sole source.184 GhiyÊth al-DÒn al-DashtakÒ (d. 949/1542–43) put DawÊnÒ’s quotations from Ibn KammÖna’s Ma¢Êlib and al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma on the arguments for the uniqueness of God in his supercommentary of DawÊnÒ’s commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s HayÊkil al-nÖr.185 Approving of the solution of Ibn KammÖna as quoted by DawÊnÒ from his JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, GhiyÊth al-DÒn then reproached DawÊnÒ for having criticized it.186 In addition, GhiyÊth al-DÒn also had direct access to Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt, as can be seen from his reference to a comment made by Ibn KammÖna in it on the burhÊn al-musÊmata for the limitation of dimensions (tanÊhÒ ab{Êd), which he quotes in part, and of which he approves.187 On other issues, GhiyÊth al-DÒn disagreed with Ibn KammÖna. He rejected Ibn KammÖna’s notion of the preeternity of the soul as explained by Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ and singled out Ibn KammÖna’s main argument in favour of this position, viz. that the cause of a simple can only be caused by a simple whereas the cause of the temporal is always composite; and since the soul is simple it cannot be temporal and therefore must be eternal,188 pointing out briefly that temporal origination of simples is possible, as is the case

At the beginning of this passage, Qu¢b al-DÒn refers to Ibn KammÖna as ba{Ó al-afÊÓil min al-mu{ÊÉirÒn. DashtakÒ introduces the argument with qÊla (p. 167:13) which refers back to Ibn KammÖna whom he mentioned two lines before by name (p. 167:11). This indicates that it was evident to DashtakÒ that the phrase ba{Ó al-afÊÓil min al-mu{ÊÉirÒn referred to Ibn KammÖna.

Moreover, he explicitly blames Ibn KammÖna for having formulated the shubha, calling him “The Pride of the Devils” (iftikhÊr al-shayÊ¢Òn).194 Although KhafrÒ does not adduce any of the relevant passages from DawÊnÒ’s writings, it is likely that his knowledge of the paradox came from the latter’s writings. Had he had direct access to Ibn KammÖna’s works, it is unlikely that he would have focussed so much on this issue or that he would have judged him on it exclusively. On this issue, moreover, KhafrÒ also criticized the commentator, {AlÒ QÖshchÒ, for having followed, or so at least is KhafrÒ’s understanding, Ibn KammÖna.195 However, there are no indications that QÖshchÒ was using Ibn KammÖna’s writings or even that he adopted any of his positions when discussing the issue of divine uniqueness in his commentary.196 This also suggests that KhafrÒ 189

was unfamiliar with the writings of Ibn KammÖna, for otherwise he would not have made such a claim. As a result of the popularity of the writings of DawÊnÒ and of KhafrÒ’s supercommentary on ”ÖsÒ’s TajrÒd among the philosophers of subsequent generations, Ibn KammÖna now became primarily known as a formulator of philosophical and logical sophistries (shubahÊt). In addition to shubhat al-taw˜Òd, two other shubhas were now ascribed to him. One of them was the liar paradox, known among Muslim philosophers as shubhat jadhr al-aÉamm or shubhat ‘kull kalÊmÒ kÊdhib’. {IÉmat AllÊh b. KamÊl al-DÒn alBukhÊrÒ (10th/16th c.) was one of the earliest scholars to claim that this paradox originated with Ibn KammÖna. He even states that it is called aÉamm (“deaf ”) because, so he maintained, Ibn KammÖna was deaf.197 Ibn KammÖna had corresponded about the liar paradox with KÊtibÒ198 and had written about it in his al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma.199 However, the attribution of this shubha to Ibn KammÖna as its alleged originator is without foundation, as this paradox was well known and had already been dealt with by Muslim scholars before him.200

A Catalogue of the Insolubilia-Literature. Toronto 1975). It is striking that the liar paradox became relevant to Muslim philosophers (apparently only in the Eastern lands of Islam) roughly at the same time as the problem started to be dealt with intensively in Medieval Europe, i.e., at the turn of the 12th/13th century. The methodological questions, that have been formulated for Medieval Europe

The second sophistry ascribed to Ibn KammÖna was the so-called “problem of necessary requirement” (shubhat al-istilzÊm). This shubha, which challenged the philosophical notion of the eternity of the world (qidam al-{Êlam), apparently originated with KÊtibÒ. In one of his exchanges with ”ÖsÒ, Ibn KammÖna asked for ”ÖsÒ’s view on this problem which, as he states here explicitly, had been formulated by KÊtibÒ.201 The first scholar who attributed this shubha to Ibn KammÖna is Shams al-DÒn al-ÆusaynÒ al-AstarÊbÊdÒ (“MÒr DÊmÊd”, d. 1041/1631). He fails to provide any reference for his claim, simply stating that this problem “has been transmitted from Ibn KammÖna” (shubhat al-istilzÊm al-manqÖla {an Ibn KammÖna) or labelling it “the famous sophistry of Ibn KammÖna” (al-mughÊla¢a al-mashhÖra li-Ibn KammÖna). The significance the problem had in his eyes is evident, as he devoted several of his writings to it.202 MÒr DÊmÊd also discussed the problem of the uniqueness of God, stating that the ascription to Ibn KammÖna was not accurate, as he was not the first to discuss it. MÒr DÊmÊd’s derogatory description of Ibn

and that are still being discussed, have so far not been touched upon in Islamic studies: “What were the origins of the discussion of the insolubilia in the Middle Ages? . . . first, when did the mediaevals begin to discuss such paradoxes, and second, where did they learn about them? Did they inherit the Liar, or did they discover it for themselves?” (Paul Vincent Spade: “The Origins of the Mediaeval Insolubilia Literature.” Franciscan Studies 33 (1973), p. 293).

CHAPTER ONE

KammÖna in this context as rajul min al-mutafalsifÒn al-mu˜dathÒn yu{rafu biIbn KammÖna suggests that he knew him only on the basis of secondary writings, most likely those of DawÊnÒ and KhafrÒ.203 Âadr al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ (“MullÊ ÂadrÊ”, d. 1050/1640) discussed the shubhat al-taw˜Òd on numerous occasions. The most elaborate version is to be found in his magnum opus al-Æikma al-muta{Êliya fÒ l-asfÊr al-arba{a. Here, he presents his own solution to the shubha which, he states, is “ascribed to Ibn KammÖna” (mimmÊ yunsabu ilÊ Ibn KammÖna).204 As was the case with DawÊnÒ and particularly with KhafrÒ, his solution is based on the analysis of the notion of pure existence (wujÖd ba˜t). To conclude his discussion, MullÊ ÂadrÊ clearly has KhafrÒ’s words in mind when he states that in this way a solution is found for the problem that has been ascribed to Ibn KammÖna, and that “one of them” (ba{Óahum)— he refers back to the aforementioned ahl al-{ilm wa-l-{irfÊn—called him the “Pride of the Devils” (iftikhÊr al-shayÊ¢Òn) for having invented the problem.205 The entire section of MullÊ ÂadrÊ’s al-Æikma al-muta{Êliya is entitled rajm al-shay¢Ên (“Stoning Satan”) indicating his approval of Ibn KammÖna’s designation as iftikhÊr al-shayÊ¢Òn.206 However, MullÊ ÂadrÊ’s reservation about KhafrÒ’s judgment is evident. For, as was the case with MÒr DÊmÊd, MullÊ ÂadrÊ is aware that Ibn KammÖna was not the first to express doubts about the conclusiveness of the proofs for the

Qum 1399/[1978–79], p. 304), in his “MasÊxil al-Qudsiyya” (in Sih risÊla falsafÒ. Ed. Sayyid JalÊl ¹shtiyÊnÒ.

uniqueness of the Necessary Existent.207 Elsewhere, he sets this out more specifically, explaining that the shubha had explicitly been formulated by SuhrawardÒ in his Mu¢Êra˜Êt and was implied in his TalwҘÊt. It was again taken up by Ibn KammÖna, a commentator on SuhrawardÒ, “in one of his writings” ( fÒ ba{Ó muÉannafÊtihÒ ), MullÊ ÂadrÊ continues to explain. It has become associated with his name because he was unable to solve it. This was because he followed SuhrawardÒ in his understanding of existence as a mental notion with no counterpart in reality (li-iÉrÊrihÒ {alÊ i{tibÊriyyat al-wujÖd wa-annahÖ lÊ {ayn lahÖ fÒ l-khÊrij). MullÊ ÂadrÊ then quoted the relevant passage from Ibn KammÖna’s Ma¢Êlib, which he presumably took from DawÊnÒ’s ShawÊkil al-˜Ör or his RisÊlat IthbÊt alwÊjib al-jadÒda.208 Mulla ÂadrÊ’s severe attitude to Ibn KammÖna is comprehensible only if one assumes that he did not have immediate access to his writings. As with KhafrÒ and MÒr DÊmÊd, he presumably misjudged him, since everything he knew about Ibn KammÖna came from secondary sources. Had he read his works, particularly those written after the Ma¢Êlib where Ibn KammÖna offers his own solutions to the problem, he would have taken these into account.209 Moreover, all clear quotations from Ibn KammÖna’s works in MullÊ ÂadrÊ’s writings seem to have been found in the writings of later scholars, 207

CHAPTER ONE

which confirms that he did not have direct access to Ibn KammÖna’s ideas. In his treatise on al-TaÉawwur wa-l-taÉdÒq, MullÊ ÂadrÊ obviously used Qu¢b al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ’s treatise on the same subject when quoting the passage from Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt.210 When commenting on a passage concerned with conception and assent in his glosses on Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ’s Shar˜ Æikmat al-IshrÊq, MullÊ ÂadrÊ remarked that Qu¢b al-DÒn followed Ibn KammÖna on that issue. To support this, MullÊ ÂadrÊ quoted the entire passage from Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt which is also to be found in Qu¢b al-DÒn al-RÊzÒ’s RisÊlat al-taÉawwur wa-ltaÉdÒq.211 There are further indications that MullÊ ÂadrÊ did not have direct access to the writings of Ibn KammÖna. He followed Ibn KammÖna in his view that the simple cannot emanate from the composite, which was part of the latter’s argument for the pre-eternity of the soul. MullÊ ÂadrÊ became familiar with this argument through Qu¢b al-DÒn alShÒrÊzÒ’s commentary on Æikmat al-ishrÊq, where Qu¢b al-DÒn quoted Ibn KammÖna’s argument and criticized him for it.212 Since Qu¢b alDÒn did not mention Ibn KammÖna by name referring to him only as “one of the contemporary scholars” (ba{Ó al-mu{ÊÉirÒn min al-afÊÓil),213 the identity of the holder of this view was not clear to MullÊ ÂadrÊ, and so he referred to him in his glosses to Qu¢b al-DÒn’s Shar˜ Æikmat alishrÊq as the “one who maintains this position”, hÊdhÊ l-qÊxil, or al-qÊxil almadhkÖr.214 MullÊ ÂadrÊ quotes Ibn KammÖna’s argument in its entirety, together with Qu¢b al-DÒn’s criticism and his own counter critique, again in his al-Æikma al-muta{Êliya, where he is likewise ignorant of the

identity of the holder of this position which he ascribes here to ba{Ó almu˜aqqiqÒn.215 It was also through Qu¢b al-DÒn that MullÊ ÂadrÊ learned about the doctrinal result of Ibn KammÖna’s argument, the pre-eternity of the soul. Again, the identity of Ibn KammÖna is unknown to him.216 However, although he approved of the main argument defending this position, MullÊ ÂadrÊ says that such a conclusion, i.e., the pre-eternity of the soul, cannot be derived from this premise because the soul is simple.217 With few exceptions, Ibn KammÖna’s philosophical writings remained unknown to other scholars of the Safavid period and beyond.218 However, mainly because of the shubhat al-taw˜Òd and the two other shubhas mentioned above, the name of Ibn KammÖna continued to appear in philosophical writings in Iran. In the late Safavid period, shubhat al-taw˜Òd became one of the most challenging philosophical issues and numerous independent tracts were written on it. One of the earliest examples is a treatise written by {AlÒ b. FaÓl AllÊh al-JÒlÊnÒ (GÒlÊnÒ) al-FÖmanÒ, presumably from the end of the 10th/16th century. The author quotes the relevant passages from Ibn KammÖna’s writings, most probably on the basis of DawÊnÒ’s quotations. Moreover, JÒlÊnÒ was aware of KhafrÒ’s response, as he used

215 Âadr al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ: Al-Æikma al-muta{Êliya, vol. 2, pp. 194:17–197:1, which is a complete quotation from Qu¢b al-DÒn’s Shar˜ Æikmat al-ishrÊq. Ed. Mu˜aqqiq and NÖrÊnÒ, pp. 249:10–251:4. Thereupon, MullÊ ÂadrÊ repeats his approval of the position of hÊdhÊ l-qÊxil (i.e. Ibn KammÖna) (p. 197:2ff ): wa-innÒ dhakartu fÒ l-˜awÊshÒ allatÒ {allaqtuhÊ {alÊ dhÊlika l-kitÊb wa-shar˜ihÒ bi-anna kalÊm hÊdhÊ l-qÊxil qawÒ jiddan fÒ jamÒ{ mÊ dhakarahÖ illÊ fÒ qidam al-nafs . . .; see also Sayyid Æusayn SayyÒd MÖsawÒ: “MullÊ ÂadrÊ u Ibn KammÖna.” 216 See Âadr al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ: Al-Æikma al-muta{Êliya, vol. 2, p. 198:5 where he writes again about hÊdhÊ l-qÊxil al-madhkÖr when discussing his view of the pre-eternity of the soul. 217 Âadr al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ: Al-Æikma al-muta{Êliya, vol. 2, pp. 197:2–198:17; vol. 8, pp. 379:1–380:2; idem: [Glosses on Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ’s Shar˜ Æikmat al-ishrÊq], p. 458. 218 One of the few scholars who was familiar with the writings of Ibn KammÖna was Sayyid A˜mad {AlawÒ (d. between 1054/1644 and 1060/1650) who quotes from Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt in his commentary on MÒr DÊmÊd’s QabasÊt when discussing the issue of time (zamÊn).

CHAPTER ONE

the title KhafrÒ gave to Ibn KammÖna.219 Shams al-DÒn Mu˜ammad b. Ni{mat AllÊh al-JÒlÊnÒ (“MullÊ ShamsÊ GÒlÊnÒ”, d. 1064/1654), one of the renowned philosophers at that time, was deeply involved in this discussion. He devoted five works to the uniqueness of God, two of which are specifically concerned with the shubhat al-taw˜Òd of Ibn KammÖna, namely Ib¢Êl wujÖd al-wÊjibayn and Daf{ shubhat Ibn KammÖna.220 MullÊ ÂadrÊ’s student and son-in-law {Abd al-RazzÊq al-LÊhÒjÒ (d. 1072/1661) discusses the shubha, formulating his own solution in a philosophical work written in Persian, Gawhar-i murÊd.221 ¹qÊ Æusayn b. JamÊl alDÒn al-KhwÊnsÊrÒ (d. 1098/1687) also wrote on the issue in glosses on Ibn SÒnÊ’s ShifÊx.222 Mu˜ammad b. {Abd al-Fattʘ SarÊb TunkÊbunÒ (d. 1124/1712) wrote a treatise on the shubhat al-taw˜Òd (completed in 1103/1691–92) in which he commented on the solutions formulated by MullÊ ShamsÊ GÒlÊnÒ and {Abd al-RazzÊq al-LÊhÒjÒ.223 Moreover, 219

KhwÊnsÊrÒ does not mention Ibn KammÖna explicitly but states that the shubha perplexed the thought of most scholars and their minds were obsessed with finding a solution (al-shubha al-mashhÖra allatÒ tashawwashat bihÊ ¢ibÊ{ al-aktharÒn wa-taballadat adhhÊnuhum {an daf{ihÊ). He then says that the originator of this shubha was called “Pride of the Devils” for having produced so intricate and complicated a problem that intelligent people were unable to solve it (li-ishtihÊrihÒ bi-ibdÊ{ shubha {awÒÉa wa-{uqda shadÒda {ajazat al-adhkiyÊx {an ˜allihÊ). KhwÊnsÊrÒ presents his own version of the shubha and cites various solutions to it including MullÊ ÂadrÊ’s. He rejects them all, stating that because of this shubha he is not aware of any rational argument for the unity of God; while there are numerous rational proofs for the existence of the Necessary Existent and for prophecy, the unity of God can be proved only on the basis of the QurxÊn and the a˜ÊdÒth.—KhwÊnsÊrÒ also wrote on the liar paradox in his superglosses on DawÊnÒ’s glosses (˜awÊshÒ qadÒm) on ”ÖsÒ’s TajrÒd al-{aqÊxid.

TunkÊbunÒ wrote an epistle on the liar paradox (completed in 1097/ 1686) in which he quotes Ibn KammÖna’s view, evidently on the basis of the quotation cited by DawÊnÒ in his writings, and then comments on it.224 In contrast to his philosophical writings, Ibn KammÖna’s comparison of the three religions, TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth, never achieved much attention in the Islamic world and indeed remained unknown to many scholars, despite the scandal the work had provoked in Baghdad four years after its completion. Compared with the number of manuscripts of Ibn KammÖna’s philosophical works, there are few extant copies of the TanqҘ transcribed by Muslims. The work is included in the abovementioned codex written by Qu¢b al-DÒn al-ShÒrÊzÒ as well as in the two incomplete preserved copies of the codex.225 These three contain the same version of Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ which differs significantly from all other extant manuscript copies of the text containing numerous additions and variants. There is a fourth manuscript of the work of Muslim provenance, which is held in the Chester Beatty Library (Ar. 4965). This copy varies from the three other manuscripts of Muslim provenance and is undated. However, it contains a reading colophon written by the owner of the copy, ShihÊb al-DÒn A˜mad b. Abi l-QÊdir b. al-HÊdÒ (?) stating that he read it to his Shaykh al-{AllÊma Badr al-DÒn b. al-”abbÊkh al-Ash{arÒ at the beginning of 965/1557.226 A further indication of how little attention the work received in the Muslim world is the fact that the two tracts which it is known were written to refute it are lost. The first reaction is entitled al-Durr al-manÓÖd fÒ l-radd {alÊ faylasÖf al-yahÖd and was written by MuØaffar al-DÒn A˜mad b. {AlÒ b. al-SÊ{ÊtÒ al-BaghdÊdÒ (651–694/1254–1294–5). The second was composed by Zayn al-DÒn SarÒjÊ b. Mu˜ammad al-Mala¢Ò (d. 788/ 1386–7) and is entitled NuhÖÓ ˜athÒth al-nuhÖd ilÊ du˜ÖÓ khabÒth al-yahÖd.227 224

CHAPTER ONE

The only extant Muslim reaction to the TanqҘ is a comparatively brief treatise by an anonymous author which was apparently composed in the 8th/14th century. In his introduction the author states that it was Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ that caused him to write the tract; yet the subsequent main text of the treatise, consisting of two chapters, is rather a polemical treatise against Judaism in its own right, than a refutation of the TanqҘ. Instead the author uses the TanqҘ, as well as Samawxal’s If˜Êm al-yahÖd, as a source for his own treatise.228 The only other extant refutation of Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ was written by a Christian (presumbly Jacobite), Ibn al-Ma˜rÖma, who around 733/1333 composed lengthy glosses (˜awÊshÒ) on Chapters Two and Three of the TanqҘ dealing with Judaism and Christianity.229 Towards the end of the 18th century, Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ came to the attention of ¹qÊ Mu˜ammad {AlÒ BihbahÊnÒ (1144–1216/1732– 1801), apparently through the aforementioned ShÒrÊzÒ codex230 or the codex copied in 1060/1650 (ms. Majlis 593).231 BihbahÊnÒ, a son of the famous Wa˜Òd BihbahÊnÒ (1118–1207/1706–1792), is mostly known for persecuting and killing some of the leaders of the Ni{matullÊhÒ order and for his profound hostility towards the Ni{matullÊhÒs which has found literary expression in his Khayratiyya dar ib¢Êl-i ¢arÒqa-yi ÉÖfiyya.232 Shortly

before his death (in 1216/1801), he completed RÊdd-i shubahÊt al-kuffÊr, a polemical work against Judaism and Christianity.233 In his introduction, the author says that he will go into detail about the three religions (dar la¢Êxif-i ab˜Êth-i milal-i thalÊth) and that he will present his material in an introduction (muqaddamÊt), three chapters (sih ba˜th) and an epilogue (khÊtima). He further gives an enlarged title of the work: RÊdd-i shubahÊti kuffÊr dar dhikr ab˜Êth-i milal-i thalÊth,234 which already alludes to Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth li-l-milal al-thalÊth. A comparison of RÊdd-i shubahÊt al-kuffÊr and TanqҘ reveals that not only the overall structure of BihbahÊnÒ’s work is modelled according to Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ; both the introduction and the subsequent three chapters of the RÊdd consist, to a large extent, of translations of extensive portions of the TanqҘ, although BihbahÊnÒ refrains from explicitly mentioning either the title of this work or its author throughout the entire text of his RÊdd. BihbahÊnÒ’s introduction is, with few omissions, a translation of Ibn KammÖna’s first chapter dealing with prophecy in general235 with only some additional remarks by the author. BihbahÊnÒ’s first chapter, dedicated to Judaism, is basically a translation of most of Ibn KammÖna’s second chapter on Judaism, with a few additions from other sources.236 BihbahÊnÒ’s second

CHAPTER ONE

chapter devoted to Christianity is, with a few omissions and with the exception of the first two sections and part of section eight, a translation of Ibn KammÖna’s third chapter on Christianity.237 The third chapter, dedicated to Islam, contains a translation of Ibn KammÖna’s fourth chapter, though with considerable omissions and numerous additions from other sources.238

5. The Reception of Ibn KammÖna in Judaism Compared with the significance of Ibn KammÖna’s philosophical writings and thought for the later development of philosophy among Muslims, the reception of his writings within Jewish circles was limited. The fact that there are manuscripts of his writings in Hebrew characters preserved in European libraries, in the various collections of material from the Ben Ezra Genizah in Fustat/Old Cairo and in the Abraham Firkovitch collection in St. Petersburg, which partly originates from the Genizah of the Karaite synagogue of Cairo,239 show that some of his philosophical writings, as well as his two comparative works, circulated among Jews and particularly Karaites. Out of his philosophical writings, the following were copied and read by later generations of Jews: MaqÊla

(wa-yuxakkidu)-15 (bihÒ), 35:16–36:2 (al-ma{mÖra), 36:4–8 (al-Ên), 36:11–12 (sana), 37:1–9 (al-amr), 37:9 (wa-qad)-10 (dhalika), 37:11 (wa-man)-20, 40:7–42:4, 43:9–18, 45:5–47:5 (al-dawÊm), 47:10–14 ({anhu), 47:17–18 (naskh) [= 40:15–49:18], 49:15–50:3 [= 49:19– 50:1]. 237 TanqҘ, pp. 51–66; transl. Examination, pp. 78–99. BihbahÊnÒ translated the following portions of this chapter: TanqҘ, pp. 51:4–52:16 (al-{aqÒda) [= RÊdd, pp. 57:5– 59:13], 52:16 (wa-ittafaqÖ)-54:7 (bi-maÉnÖ{ ), 54:10–15 (lÊ ghayr) [= 60:8–62:22], 54:16– 55:20, 55:23–57:7 [= 63–67:4], 57:8–14 [= 67:6–16], 57:14–21 (al-nabÒ), 57:23–58:1 [= 68:3–21], 58:5–14 (ajlika), 58:15 (wa-kayfa)-20 (ba{Óahum), 59:1–7 [= 69:1–70:13], 59:8–61:17, 61:22–62:20, 62:22 (wa-na˜nu)-23 (˜ikmatihÒ), 63:3–5 (wuqÖ{ihÒ), 63:6–64:9, 64:13–65:1 (al-anÊjÒl ), 65:4–5 (mu˜tamil) [= 70:14–78:12]. 238 TanqҘ, pp. 67–108; transl.

CHAPTER ONE

third fragment is part of the Adler collection at the Jewish Theological Seminary, New York.250 There is, so far, only one case of a later Jewish thinker who is known to have studied Ibn KammÖna’s writings and to have used them in his own writings, namely David ben Joshua Maimonides, a late descendant of Maimonides active circa 1335–1410 C.E..251 In his Judaeo-Arabic commentary on Maimonides’ commentary on the Mishneh TÔrÊh he quotes from Ibn KammÖna’s al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma;252 he was apparently also familiar with his Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt.253 It is not unlikely that the copy of Ibn KammÖna’s commentary on SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt, portions of which were collected by Abraham Firkovitch and by Moses Wilhelm Shapira, is the manuscript that was available to David ben Joshua.254 250

Proceedings of the Sixth Conference of the Society for JudaeoArabic Studies. Eds. Joshua Blau and David Doron. Ramat Gan 2000, pp. 145–60. Fenton has also edited and translated one of David ben Joshua’s writings: Al-Murshid ilÊ l-tafarrud wa-l-murfid ilÊ l-tajarrud. Edited for the first time with a Hebrew translation and notes by Paul B. Fenton. Jerusalem 1985. 252 Cf. Fenton: “Literary Legacy,” p. 33 no. 38; idem: “A Judaeo-Arabic Commentary on Maimonides’ MišnÏ TÔrÊ,” p. 154. The quote (ms. RNL II Yevr.-Arab. I 1497, ff. 47b:15–48a:21) is taken from Ibn KammÖna’s al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma, pp. 403:14–404:6 and includes the passage where Ibn Kammuna quotes Muxayyad al-DÒn al-{UrÓÒ. Other than was suggested by Fenton (“Literary Legacy,” p. 37 no. 48) who did not identify alJadÒd as the source of David, this second part of the quote is therefore not taken directly from a writing by {UrÓÒ.—For Ibn KammÖna’s use of {UrÓÒ, see below, Chapter Two, Section 1.2.3. 253 Suggested by Fenton (“Literary Legacy,” p. 37) for ms. West. Coll. Ar. II 75 which is a portion of David ben Joshua’s al-Murshid ila l-tafarrud. 254 There is also an extensive paraphrastic quotation from Ibn KammÖna’s Shar˜ alTalwҘÊt contained in a copy in Hebrew script of a partial commentary on Maimonides’ Sefer ha-madda{ (i.e., the first book of his commentary on the Mishneh TÔrÊh) by the Muslim author {AlÊx al-DÒn Abu l-Æasan {AlÒ b. ”aybugha al-Æalabi al-ÆanafÒ al-Muwaqqit (d.

INVENTORY OF THE WRITINGS OF IBN KAMMÇNA

The purpose of this inventory is to serve as a reference tool for further research on Ibn KammÖna. Included are all works of which he is known to be the author or that have been attributed to him. Each entry gives the title of the work, together with a brief description of its contents, and contains references to relevant bibliographical sources. As far as can be established, the date of composition is also given. Editions, translations, commentaries and studies are indicated, and the location of manuscripts of extant works, together with brief descriptions is also given. We have tried to trace and describe all extant manuscripts of Ibn KammÖna’s writings and to inspect as many manuscript copies as possible. Where this has not been feasible, the information provided is based on the descriptions in the respective manuscript catalogues. References to manuscripts of Ibn KammÖna in secondary literature that proved to be wrong, as well as misattributions in catalogues, have been omitted. In many cases, Ibn KammÖna did not give his writings specic titles. The rst title mentioned for each entry is either the one that was given to the work by Ibn KammÖna, or that can be deduced from his wording in the respective works and from cross references in other works. Alternative titles, as found in quotations of later scholars, in manuscript catalogues, or in modern scholarship are indicated in parentheses. Given the sometimes confusing state of the titles, the respective incipit and explicit are quoted for each work in order to facilitate future identications of as yet unknown manuscripts. For those works that have either not been edited as yet or that are difcult to trace, the quoted incipit includes the text of the entire introduction. The respective sources for incipit and explicit have been indicated. Misreadings in the editions and manuscripts have been emended without specic notice. The abbreviations used in this chapter for manuscript collections and catalogues and for bibliographical references are explained below (see Abbreviations and References).

1. Authentic Writings 1.1. Commentaries and Glosses 1.1.1. Shar˜ al-uÉÖl wa-l-jumal min muhimmÊt al-{ilm wa-l-{amal (Shar˜ alIshÊrÊt) A commentary on al-IshÊrÊt wa-l-tanbÒhÊt of Ibn SÒnÊ, dedicated to Sharaf al-DÒn HÊrÖn, one of the sons of Éʘib al-dÒwÊn Shams al-DÒn al-JuwaynÒ. As Ibn KammÖna says in the introduction, the commentary is heavily indebted to the commentary of NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ. It was composed in less than two months and completed on 28 Sha{bÊn 671/ 19 March 1273. A copy of the work was sent by Ibn KammÖna to the library of Sharaf al-DÒn HÊrÖn and his father.

Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt (al-TanqҘÊt fÒ Shar˜ al-TalwҘÊt) A commentary on the TalwҘÊt of ShihÊb al-DÒn al-SuhrawardÒ produced in response to a request by some unidentied scholars, whom the author refers to as jamÊ{a min al-sÊda al-nubalÊx wa-l-aɘÊb al-fuÓalÊx, and completed at the beginning of 667/1268.1 There are no indications in the text that Ibn KammÖna was aware of a commentary on the same work by Shams al-DÒn al-ShahrazÖrÒ (if the latter’s commentary in fact predates Ibn KammÖna’s). In the introduction he says that he used other works by SuhrawardÒ. Throughout the text, he explicitly refers to Æikmat al-ishrÊq (eds. Ziai & Alwishah, pp. 221, 224, 382, 388, 424–25; ed. MÖsawÒ, p. 997), al-MashÊri{ wa-l-Mu¢Êra˜Êt (eds. Ziai & Alwishah, pp. 180, 296; ed. MÖsawÒ, p. 997), al-Alwʘ al-{imÊdiyya (ed. MÖsawÒ, p. 994) and MuqÊwamÊt (eds. Ziai & Alwishah, p. 452); although he refrains from explicitly mentioning it, he also used SuhrawardÒ’s MaqÊmÊt al-ÉÖyya (Kalimat al-taÉawwuf ), particularly with respect to Su terminology; especially his denitions of tawakkul, shukr, and riÓÊ (ed. MÖsawÒ, pp. 1020–21) are based on SuhrawardÒ’s Kalimat al-taÉawwuf (ed. Habibi, pp. 133–34). Following the structure of SuhrawardÒ’s TalwҘÊt,

Ziai and Alwishah state that Malik 934 contains a colophon on f. 288b according to which “the date of the completion of the work by Ibn KammÖna at the NiØÊmiyya Madrasa in BaghdÊd [was] in the beginning of the year 667 A.H.” (emphasis ours). See the introduction to their edition, p. 47. This information is, however, incorrect; the reference in the colophon to the Madrasa NiØÊmiyya refers exclusively to the copyist.

FawÊxid min TalkhÒÉ al-mu˜aÉÉal (Multaqa¢ / IltiqÊ¢ / IntikhÊb min TalkhÒÉ al-mu˜aÉÉal) Excerpts from NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ’s critical commentary on Fakhr alDÒn al-RÊzÒ’s Mu˜aÉÉal afkÊr al-mutaqaddimÒn wa-l-mutaxakhkhirÒn, TalkhÒÉ al-mu˜aÉÉal, completed between 1–3 Dhu l-Qa{da 670/30 May–1 June 1272.

CHAPTER TWO

Edition Chapter Three, Text One

Commentaries Ibn KammÖna says in the introduction to the work that he intended to write a commentary (shar˜) on it later on. There is no indication that this was ever realized. Ibn AbÒ JumhÖr al-A˜sÊxÒ (d. after 906/1501) wrote a work entitled alDurra al-mustakhraja min al-Lum{a fÒ l-˜ikma, which is lost. ¹ghÊ Buzurg suggests that this was perhaps a commentary on the treatise by Ibn KammÖna (DharÒ{a, vol. 8, p. 89 no. 323; Schmidtke: Theologie, Philosophie und Mystik, p. 274 no. 22). 1.3.5. IthbÊt al-mabdax wa-ÉifÊtihÒ wa-l-{amal al-muqarrib ilÊ llÊh (ilayhi) (RisÊla fÒ l-˜ikma) A brief philosophical treatise which is arranged in a similar fashion to KalimÊt wajÒza (see above, Section 1.3.4). The identical wording in many sections suggests that this treatise is a concise version of KalimÊt wajÒza, which was written either shortly before or after the latter work. ¹ghÊ Buzurg mentions a work by Ibn KammÖna with a similar title (RisÊla fÒ ithbÊt al-wÊjib wa-ithbÊt mÊ yajibu ithbÊtuhÖ li-l-wÊjib wa-ithbÊt al-taw˜Òd waannahÖ lÊ shÊrik lahÖ; cf. DharÒ{a, vol. 11, pp. 11–12 no. 51) which might be identical with IthbÊt al-mabdax. He mentions that there is a manuscript of this tract in the Majlis Library as indicated in the catalogue of this library; we were unable to nd any hint of such a treatise in the catalogue.—In the only manuscript available to us (RawÓÊtÒ) there is no introduction by the author. The same apparently applies to the manuscript that was part of the MahdÒ BayÊnÒ collection. Beginning:—

CHAPTER TWO

1.3.9. MaqÊla fÒ anna l-nafs laysat bi-mizÊj al-badan wa-lÊ kÊxina {an mizÊj al-badan Ibn KammÖna refers to this treatise in his MaqÊla fÒ l-taÉdÒq bi-anna nafs al-insÊn bÊqiya abadan (see above, Section 1.3.8) (ed. BarkhwÊh, p. 91): alfaÉl al-khÊmis fÒ anna nafs al-insÊn qadÒma. qad barhantu {alÊ hÊdhÊ l-ma¢lab fÒ l-maqÊla allatÒ bayyantu fÒhÊ anna l-nafs laysat bi-mizÊj al-badan wa-lÊ kÊxina {an mizÊj al-badan . . .; (ed.

He likewise refers to it in his MaqÊla fÒ anna wujÖd al-nafs abadÒ wa-baqÊxahÊ sarmadÒ (see below, Section 1.3.10). This suggests that this treatise predates the treatises described in Sections 1.3.8 and 1.3.10.—The treatise contains eleven chapters ( fuÉÖl) to which Ibn KammÖna did not give any specic titles. The editor, InsÒyah BarkhwÊh, coined the following titles for the chapters: 1. fÒ annahÖ lÊ ˜Êja ilÊ taÉawwur mÊhiyyat al-nafs wa-l-mizÊj wa-˜aqÒqatihÒ; 2. fÒ bayÊn shar˜ ism al-nafs wa-ithbÊt wujÖdihÒ; 3. fÒ bayÊn al-mizÊj {alÊ l-wajh almuttafaq {alayhi fÒmÊ bayn al-˜ukamÊx mÊ huwa; 4. fÒ bayÊn marÊtib al-ashyÊx; 5. fÒ anna {illat al-˜Êdith al-zamÊnÒ ˜Êditha zamÊniyya; 6. fÒ anna l-{illa li-wujÖd al˜Êdith al-zamÊnÒ murakkaba min mawjÖd dÊxim al-wujÖd wa-man sabaqa ˜Êdith Êkhar; 7. fÒ imtinÊ{ ÉudÖr al-basÒ¢ {an al-{illa al-murakkaba; 8. fÒ bayÊn anna l-nafs yasta˜Òlu an takÖna murakkaba; 9. fÒ tartÒb hÊdhihÒ l-muqaddimÊt li-yuntij anna l-nafs laysat bi-mizÊj al-badan wa-lÊ kÊxina {an mizÊj al-badan; 10. fÒ bayÊn tashkÒkÊt al-mu{ÊnidÒn {alÊ muqaddimÊt al-burhÊn; 11. fÒ dhikr al-ajwiba {an tilka al-tashkÒkÊt.

There is little indication in the text as to Ibn KammÖna’s own sympathies. Whereas Steinschneider argued that the objective character of the tract and the lack of characteristic Rabbanite eulogies indicate the Karaite allegiance of the (in his view anonymous) author, Nemoy takes the fact that Ibn KammÖna “devotes twice as much space to the defense of Rabbanism as he does to that of Karaism” as an indication that “his sympathies nevertheless remained with the mother-synagogue” (ed. Nemoy, p. 109). The authenticity of the treatise was intitially contested. Hartwig Hirschfeld designated the treatise as an “anonyme Schrift”10 and Moritz 10

In the preface to his edition of the KitÊb al-KhuzarÒ (Leipzig 1887); cf. Nemoy:

Steinschneider expressed doubts as to the accuracy of attributing this work to Ibn KammÖna.11 However, the authorship of Ibn KammÖna is well attested by the typical wording of the introduction and has been uncontested since the publication of Dawid Hartwig Baneth’s study on Ibn KammÖna in 1925.12 The original work had no title. “Treatise on the Differences between the Rabbanites and Karaites” was the title given by its rst editor, Hartwig Hirschfeld. The extant manuscripts are written exclusively in Hebrew characters.

“Ibn Kammunah’s Treatise,” (1968), p. 107 n. 3.—In the table of contents of his Arabic Chrestomathy, Hirschfeld still seems to be doubtful on the issue of authorship when he writes: “Treatise on the differences between the Rabbanites and Karaites attributed to Sa{d b. ManÉÖr (cod. Berol. Oct. 2562 Unicum).” See also Baneth: “Ibn Kammuna,” p. 296: “die zweite [Schrift über Rabbaniten und Karäer] hat Hartwig Hirschfeld in seiner Arabic chrestomathy in Hebrew characters (London 1892) vollständig abgedruckt, aber auf Grund von Steinschneiders Urteil als unterschoben behandelt.” 11 Moritz Steinschneider: Verzeichniss der Hebräischen Handschriften 1–2. Berlin 1878–97, vol. 1, p. 76: “eine Schrift über die Differenzen zwischen den Rabbaniten und Karaiten, welche (gewissermaßen als Fortsetzung des  ) untergeschoben scheint; . . . Der Verf. dieser Abhandlung spricht als Jude, citirt fortwährend hebräische Schriften und gebraucht hebräische Phrasen, ganz abweichend vom Verf. des  , allerdings mit Rücksicht auf das Thema und mit dem Scheine einer ähnlichen Objectivität, hinter welcher wohl ein Karait sich versteckt, da die Rabbaniten zu einem solchen Scheine weder Veranlassung noch Neigung hatten. Auch fehlen selbst in den vorgeführten Ansichten der Rabbaniten gewisse übliche Eulogien und Formeln . . . wie auch unser Unicum aus karaitischen Händen kömmt und die, [sic] die Echtheit versichernde Schlußformel den Verdacht der Fälschung voraussetzt. Auch die Benutzung des Buches  ist eine halb ehrliche, nach der Art rafnirter Plagiatoren.” Idem: Arabische Literatur, p. 240: “Die Abhandlung über die Differenzen der Rabbaniten und Karaiten (ms. Bl.) ist jedenfalls eine, wahrscheinlich karaitische Unterschiebung.“ Idem: Polemische und apologetische Literatur, p. 39: “Es folgt dann eine, dem Character nach verschiedene Abhandlung über die Differenzen der Rabbaniten und Karaiten, welches grösstentheils aus dem Kusari des Jehuda ha-Levi . . . schöpft, und durch eine Vorbemerkung etwas ungeschickt als eine Art Fortsetzung des vorigen Werkes eingeleitet wird. Ich vermuthe hier eine Unterschiebung.” 12 See Baneth: “Ibn Kammuna,” pp. 309–11; Nemoy: “A Forgotten 13th Century Jewish Physician,” p. 157.—In his study on Ibn KammÖna’s TanqҘ al-ab˜Êth, Leo Hirschfeld followed the views of Hartwig Hirschfeld and Steinschneider; see his Ibn KammÖnah und seine polemische Schrift, p. 1 n.3, p. 15 n. 1.

Correspondence with KamÊl al-DÒn al-Ba˜rÊnÒ The addressee in this piece of correspondence is KamÊl al-DÒn alBa˜rÊnÒ, who is presumably to be identied as Maytham b. Maytham al-Ba˜rÊnÒ (d. 699/1300). In three manuscripts, this correspondence is the rst of a number of fawÊxid, mostly on logic, formulated by various scholars who cannot be identied in every case. Reference is made to KÊtibÒ, Shams al-DÒn al-SamarqandÒ (d. 702/1303), NakhjawÊnÒ, and SirÊj al-DÒn al-UrmawÒ (d. 682/1283–84). This is followed by a section on mughÊla¢Êt, some of which are ascribed to KÊtibÒ and contain a reference to the {AllÊma al-ÆillÒ. The eulogy following the latter’s name indicates that the text was written after his death in 726/1325. ¹ghÊ Buzurg, who has seen Majlis 3850 [current shelfmark: Majlis 1830] containing

Ibn KammÖna’s exchange with Ba˜rÊnÒ, together with the other fawÊxid and mughÊla¢Êt, has no doubt that all are by Ibn KammÖna: “al-FawÊxid li-{Izz al-Dawla Ibn Kammuna, fawÊxid mutafarriqa wa-fÒhi al-mughÊla¢Êt lahÖ” (DharÒ{a, vol. 16, p. 318 no. 1478). MÒrzÊ Mu˜ammad ”Êhir TunkÊbunÒ (d. 1320/1941–42), the previous owner of this codex (see cat. vol. 5, pp. 270–73), attributed the last part of the text to KÊtibÒ. It is, however, not clear where he suggested “the last part” should start. The manuscripts do not support the conclusion that Ibn KammÖna collected all these notes together, or even wrote them, and it is certain only that the rst epistle addressed to Ba˜rÊnÒ was composed by him. (DharÒ{a, vol. 16, p. 318 no. 1478)

Nemoy: “New Data,” p. 508): “. . . He was sought by many people who wished to prot by his instruction. It so happened that I myself was prevented from meeting him personally by an illness which overtook me, but I wrote him requesting him to let me have a token of his instruction, so that I might embellish my work with it. He wrote in reply, through my colleague and friend Shams al-DÒn Mu˜ammad b. AbÒ al-RabÒ{, the calculator, known as al-Æashaf, in the year 683: Keep knowledge always away from ignorant people, And do not entrust it to him who is unt for it. He will only use it for violent, hateful, and evil purposes, And his lack of intelligence will turn it into ignorance. Always guard it zealously from him, And seek not excellence from him who has none to start with . . .”

2. Works of Uncertain Authenticity 2.1. Æall ishkÊlÊt al-IshÊrÊt The treatise which is extant in a single manuscript (VazÒrÒ 2377/5, ff. 49–77) was copied in Sha{bÊn 956/August–September 1549 and consists of two unconnected parts. The unconventional beginning of each part suggests that both are extracts from two different texts. The text itself contains no indication either of its author or title. The only indication that Ibn KammÖna is its author is the table of contents in the codex (f. 1b), which also gives the title which clearly refers to the second part only. That the title is in Persian (Æall-i ishkÊlÊt-i IshÊrÊt) suggests that it was added later on. Part One (ff. 49b–52b:5) contains two sections; the rst, which seems incomplete in the beginning, deals with the Aristotelian proof of the existence of God on the basis of cause and effect.

The author refers to Ibn SÒnÊ as Éʘib KitÊb al-IshÊrÊt or Éʘib alkitÊb. Each commentary is introduced with a complete or partial quote of the respective words of Ibn SÒnÊ. None of the material contained in Part Two is taken from Ibn KammÖna’s commentary on Ibn SÒnÊ’s IshÊrÊt (see above, Section 1.1.1), and the overall style of the entire text is different from Ibn KammÖna’s usual style. The twelve remarks from the IshÊrÊt commented on are taken exclusively from the second part of IshÊrÊt on philosophy, to the exclusion of the rst part on logic. Moreover, none of the remarks of nama¢ three (psychology) and nama¢ nine and ten (mysticism) are commented on. With the exception of the rst, the remarks are introduced as masxala. The text seems complete at the end, as the last remark is entitled almasxala al-akhÒra (f. 73b). The remarks are arranged, as the author himself asserts (f. 64a:12–15), in an order that is different from the order that they appear in the IshÊrÊt.

The only indication that Ibn KammÖna is the author is to be found in the heading (f. 166a): min ta{ÊlÒq al-ÆakÒm {Izz alDawla Abi l-RiÓÊ Ibn KammÖna. An additional heading ta{rÒfÊt was added on the upper margin of the text (f. 166a) by a different, certainly later hand; the same hand has added titles to various writings throughout the codex; some of them are inaccurate, which suggests that the title given to this tract should not be relied upon. The title “ta{rÒfÊt Ibn KammÖna” is also to be found on the title page of the codex (f. Ia) by a third, different hand. The copy of the tract itself is not dated, but some other writings in the codex which are written in a single hand have dated colophons (f. 134b: 28 RabÒ{ I 752/25 May 1351; f. 153a: 3 Sha{bÊn 753/13 September 1352 bi-baldat Æilla). It is possible that these notes were taken from some of Ibn KammÖna’s glosses; at least, there are similarities in style with his TaqrÒb al-ma˜ajja. Beginning (Esad Efendi 3642/7, f. 166a:3–5):—

CHAPTER TWO

Manuscript Ragp Pa‘a 1481, ff. 283b–290a, copied in the 8th/14th century (cf. MukhtÊrÊt, p. 144; NawÊdir, vol. 1, p. 166). 2.4. KitÊb fÒ l-man¢iq wa-l-¢abÒ{a wa-mÊ ba{dahÊ (KitÊb fÒ l-˜ikma) An extensive treatise on philosophy, composed following the request by ba{Ó al-¢alaba al-mustarshidÒn. The authorship of the work as one by Ibn KammÖna is questionable. Neither introduction, colophon nor the text itself contain any indication that it is by Ibn KammÖna. All three extant copies of the work are contained in codices with other works by Ibn KammÖna. The earliest of the three known manuscript copies (completed in 720/1320) is Ayasofya 2446, which also contains Ibn KammÖna’s alJadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma (ff. 1–176b) and his TaqrÒb al-ma˜ajja (ff. 293b–308a). On the leaf prior to f. 1a in reference to the contents of the entire majmÖ{a appears: kitÊbÊn li-Ibn KammÖna fÒ l-˜ikmiyyÊt al-falsayya . . .). On f. 1b is indicated by a later hand: al-KÊshif . . . li-Ibn KammÖna, which is correct, as this treatise indeed starts on the same folio. On f. 177a is written in the same later hand: al-Æikma al-jadÒda li-Ibn KammÖna, which is correct if it is supposed to refer back to the treatise ending on f. 176b (al-KÊshif and al-Æikma al-jadÒda being alternative titles for al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma). The manuscript contains no indication of the title or the author of the work under consideration.—The other two extant manuscripts of the work, which Ritter tentatively dates to the 9th/15th (Ayasofya 2447) and 11th/ 17th century (Esad Efendi 1933) respectively, have title pages: in Ayasofya 2447 on f. 3a: KitÊb fÒ l-˜ikma taxlÒf al-faylasÖf al-kÊmil al-fÊÓil {Izz al-Dawla Sa{d b. ManÉÖr Ibn KammÖna . . . and in Esad Efendi 1933 on f. 1a: hÊdhÊ lKitÊb fÒ l-˜ikma taxlÒf al-˜akÒm al-fÊÓil wa-l-faylasÖf al-kÊmil {Izz al-Dawla Sa{d b. ManÉÖr b. KammÖna. . . . In Esad Efendi 1933, the treatise is also mentioned with Ibn KammÖna as author on the table of contents prior to f. 1a. On the basis of a mistake that is to be found in all three manuscripts (cf. Ayasofya 2446/2, f. 214a, Ayasofya 2447/1, f. 25b, Esad Efendi 1933/1, f. 17a where it says al-qÊ{ida al-rÊbi{a instead of al-qÊ{ida al-sÊbi{a, as would be required by the context), it seems safe to assume that all three copies belong to the same textual transmission, although it is unlikely that Esad Efendi 1933/1 and Ayasofya 2447/1 were copied from Ayasofya

2446/2: two diagrams, included in Esad Efendi 1933/1 and Ayasofya 2447/1, are missing in Ayasofya 2446/2 (ff. 233b, 254b); moreover, each of the three sections of the text—logic, physics, metaphysics—is preceded in Ayasofya 2446/2 by the basmallah—something that is not found in the two other manuscripts. It is thus more likely that all three manuscripts were either copied from the same source or go back to the same archetype. The fact that the earliest of the manuscripts lacks any indication of the title that is found in the later copies, suggests that this was also the case with their respective source or archetype. There are other formal indications arguing against authorship by Ibn KammÖna. One of the characteristics of his systematic independent philosophical treatises is that they are arranged in a strictly even manner. Al-JadÒd fÒ l-˜ikma consists of seven abwÊb each containing seven fuÉÖl; alMa¢Êlib al-muhimma consists of seven fuÉÖl each containing seven ab˜Êth; KalimÊt wajÒza consists of two jumal, each containing two abwÊb consisting of ve fuÉÖl each; in none of these treatises does he arrange the material according to the tripartite scheme logic-physics-metaphysics. The text structure of the KitÊb fÒ l-˜ikma is strikingly different; it comprises the three disciplines of knowledge, viz. logic, physics and metaphysics, and even within these the work does not reveal a comparably even division. Al-{ilm al-awwal fÒ l-man¢iq is subdivided into 6 maqÊlÊt; maqÊla 1 comprises 10 qÊ{ida, maqÊla 2: 2 qÊ{ida, maqÊla 3: 2 qÊnÖn (qÊnÖn 1 comprising 8 qÊ{ida, qÊnÖn 2: 4 qÊ{ida), maqÊla 4: 14 qÊ{ida, maqÊla 5: no further subdivision, maqÊla 6: 2 fann (fann 1 comprising 5 qÊ{ida, fann 2: no further subdivision). Al-{ilm al-thÊnÒ wa-huwa al-{ilm al-¢abÒ{Ò is subdivided into 2 maqÊlÊt; maqÊla 1: no further subdivision, maqÊla 2 comprises 5 fann, fann 1: 6 qÊ{ida, fann 2 & 3: no further subdivision, fann 4: 3 qÊ{ida, fann 5: 3 qÊ{ida. Al-{ilm alilÊhÒ is subdivided into 5 maqÊlÊt, maqÊla 1: 13 qÊ{ida, maqÊla 2: 3 qÊ{ida, maqÊla 3: 7 qÊ{ida, maqÊla 4 & 5: no further subdivision. Moreover, there are doctrinal reasons for assuming that the work is not one of Ibn KammÖna’s writings. In his discussion on the soul, the author of the work maintains that the soul has no existence prior to the body; he moreover rejects the notion of tanÊsukh (Ayasofya 2446, ff. 261bff; Ayasofya 2447, ff. 58bff; Esad Efendi 1933, ff. 36bff ). Both doctrines contradict the doctrinal position of Ibn KammÖna, who upheld the pre-eternity of the soul in all his authenticated writings and had a more favourable view of metempsychosis.

CHAPTER TWO

MÒnuwÒ, who inspected one manuscript of the work (Esad Efendi 1933) in 1956, also seriously doubted the authenticity of this treatise as a work by Ibn KammÖna. He specically pointed out that the anonymous author refers by way of example to the river Nile, which is a highly unlikely thing for a writer from Baghdad to do. He assumes that the work was written in the 4th/10th century (MujtabÊ MÒnuwÒ: “Az khazÊxin-i Turkiyah.” In MÒnuwÒ bar gustara-yi adabiyyÊt-i fÊrsÒ. MajmÖ{a-yi maqÊlÊt. Ed. MÊhmunÒr MÒnuwÒ.

ShÊdhilÒ refers to Ibn KammÖna as “Sa{d Ibn KammÖna Éʘib al-KÊfÒ al-kabÒr”, “Ibn KammÖna jÊmi{ al-KitÊb al-KÊfÒ”, “Éʘib al-KÊfÒ al-kabÒr”, “Éʘib KitÊb alKÊfÒ ”, and “Sa{d Ibn KammÖna”. His quotes from the KitÊb al-KÊfÒ, which is apparently not extant, show that Ibn KammÖna treated a number of cases in Æalab.14 Whether the author of the KitÊb al-KÊfÒ was Sa{d b. ManÉÖr Ibn KammÖna cannot be conclusively decided on the sole basis of ShÊdhilÒ’s testimony. However, since there is strong evidence that Ibn KammÖna spent most of his professional life in Baghdad, it is unlikely that he treated patients in Æalab at any stage of his life. Moreover, there is no other evidence conrming that Ibn KammÖna was indeed

14 The possibility that the KitÊb al-KÊfÒ is extant yet so far has not been identied should not be ruled out. The numerous quotations by ShÊdhilÒ from this work might help to identify it. See Âadaqa b. IbrÊhÒm al-ShÊdhilÒ: al-{Umda al-ku˜liyya fÒ l-amrÊÓ albaÉariyya. Ms. Munich 834, ff. 34a:16ff, 55b:10ff, 55b:17ff, 59b:2ff, 75a:21ff, 77b:16ff, 80b:10ff, 141b:4ff, 148b:4.

a physician. On the other hand, there are other likely candidates for the “Ibn KammÖna” or “Sa{d Ibn KammÖna” mentioned by ShÊdhilÒ. One possibility would be Ibn KammÖna’s grandfather who was also called “Sa{d”. Moreover, we know of a contemporary of Ibn KammÖna by the name of Abu l-QÊsim Sa{Òd b. Ma{ÊlÒ b. Fut֘ Ibn KammÖna15 who might also qualify. (Rosen: Manuscrits arabes, p. 101; Steinschneider: Arabische Literatur, p. 239 no. 2; GALS, vol. 1, p. 769; Ullmann: Medizin, pp. 213–14) 2.6. al-Tadhkira fÒ l-KÒmiyÊ The title is included by modern scholars among the works of Ibn KammÖna on the basis of the information provided by ÆÊjjÒ KhalÒfa. However, the authenticity of the work as one by Ibn KammÖna is doubtful. One of ÆÊjjÒ KhalÒfa’s sources presumably was (directly or indirectly) ShihÊb al-DÒn al-QalqashandÒ’s (d. 821/1418) Âub˜ ala{shÊ fÒ ÉinÊ{at al-inshÊx, completed in 814/1412. QalqashandÒ lists the work under the heading amthal kutub al-islÊmiyyÒn within the discipline of kÒmiyÊ and does not offer any specics as to the name of its author, “Ibn KammÖna”.16 Since it is well known that the names “KammÖna” and “Ibn KammÖna” were relatively frequent also among Muslims (see above, Section 2.5), it seems likely on the basis of the evidence of QalqashandÒ that here a different, Muslim, Ibn KammÖna is meant. (Kashf al-ØunÖn, vol. 1, p. 393; MS, vol. 1, p. 346; Steinschneider: Arabische Literatur, p. 240 no. 6).

Text 2 IthbÊt al-mabdax wa-ÉifÊtihÒ wa-l-{amal al-muqarrib ilÊ llÊh The edition is based on the single known manuscript of the text found in the collection of Mu˜ammad AlÒ RawÓÊtÒ in Isfahan. It was available to us on the basis of the microlm copy extant in the Central Library of Tehran University (microlm no. 2712). The manuscript is partly corrupt, but it was possible to make a number of ementions on the basis of a comparison with Ibn KammÖna’s KalimÊt wajÒza mushtamila {alÊ nukat la¢Òfa fÒ l-{ilm wa-l-{amal (= Text 1), of which the text presented here is a more concise version.

Text 5 Correspondence with NaÉÒr al-DÒn al-”ÖsÒ The edition of ”ÖsÒ’s reply to Ibn KammÖna which is the only extant part of this correspondence is based on the following three manuscripts: Å = ¹khÖnd 1187/61, ff. 267a–b [pp. 495–496]  = Majlis 2938, ff. 165–166  = Ragp Pa‘a 1461, ff. 258b–259a [253b–254a] In addition, the edition of {Abd AllÊh NÖrÊnÒ (in Collected Texts and Papers on Logic and Language. Eds. M. Mohaghghegh and T. Izutsu. Tehran 1974, pp. 285–86) has been consulted. This edition which is supposedly based on a single manuscript (Majlis 2938) contains only the first part of the text. Possibly due to a technical error, the second part is replaced by a completely different text.

Text 6 Correspondence with Najm al-DÒn al-KÊtibÒ The edition is based on the following ve manuscripts:

è = Ayasofya 4862, ff. 269b–271a , = ¹khÖnd 1187/67, ff. 290b–292b = Majlis 630/2, pp. 9–11 Ë = Majlis-i SinÊ 286/5, ff. 39b–41b  = Ragp Pa‘a 1461, ff. 276b–278b  = Pertev Pa‘a 617, ff. 173a–176b

As the variations in the manuscripts show, there are two recensions of the text. One is obviously closer to the original version written by Ibn KammÖna, as is evident from the way the author is introduced there, which corresponds to the way he usually introduces himself at the beginning of his writings. Manuscripts , and  belong to this recension. The other recension, in which the name of Ibn KammÖna is mentioned more respectfully, was presumably prepared by a later generation of scholars. Manuscripts , è,  and Ë belong to this recension. Manuscripts è and  were apparently copied by the same hand. In manuscript è the scribe left out many words, but in the margin numerous explanatory notes have been added; most of these notes are part of the main text as it appears in manuscript  ; one of these notes at the end of text is also to be found in manuscript .
