It is a compendium on the treatise \u003cem\u003eDe generatione et corruptione\u003c\/em\u003e, written by the Imamite theologian and heresiographer Hasan b. Mūsā al-Nawbakhtī (fl. ca. 900). To this day, apart from the title of more than forty works and numerous fragments-taken mainly from his magnum opus, the Book of the Doctrines and Religions (Kitāb al-ārā’ wa-al-diyānāt)-only a single treatise of his, the Book of Shî’î Sects (Kitâb firaq al-shî’a), was known to us. The text sheds new light in several ways: firstly, on the the Arabic philosophical tradition, since it was composed during the obscure period between al-Kindī and al-Fārābī (roughly, the 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e half of the 9\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e c.); secondly, on the Greek tradition, since the author makes extensive use of Alexander’s lost commentary on De generatione; thirdly, on the formative period of shī’ism, since it helps us to reconstruct how the author borrowed from the Aristotelian tradition the tools necessary to build up a new anthropology compatible with the doctrine of the Occultation which he inaugurated at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57261333938520,"sku":"9783110443646","price":194.06,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783110443646_4fbf2e81-a5f4-4269-9cc0-e403fa414cb6.jpg?v=1780043454","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/al-hasan-ibn-musa-al-nawbakhti-commentary-on-aristotle-de-generatione-et-corruptione","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
