Abstract

AbstractMuḥammad al-Hindī’s Ǧumal al-falsafa is a philosophical summa from the 12th century CE. The text is preserved in two manuscripts: an autograph (Esad Efendi 1918) and a copy thereof. Various notes and annotations pervade MS Esad Efendi 1918’s fly-leaves and title-page. An examination of these, to date, understudied elements provides us with the only information that links this author to Yemen. It also reveals the steps taken on its journey, from 12th-century Yemen to Mamluk Egypt and Syria, and eventually Safavid Iran and Ottoman Istanbul.
