The relation of Maslama al-Maŷrīṭī with the books Rasāʼil Ijwān al-Ṣafā’, Risālat al-ŷāmi‘a, Rutbat al-ḥakīm and Gāyat al-ḥakīm
Abstract
Some sources affirm that Abū al-Ḥakam al-Kirmānī (d. 458/1066) was the first who brought Rasā’il Ijwān al-Ṣafā’ in al-Andalus. However, some researchers think that Maslama al-Maŷrīṭī (d. 398/1007) is the one who brought it in first. Furthermore, other sources and many manuscripts ascribe the encyclopedia and the Risālat al-ŷāmi‘a to al-Maŷrīṭī. Apparently, this attribution is related to Rutbat al- ḥakīm and Gāyat al-ḥakīm. These works have been considered anonymous according to the majority of studies. Throughout this study, we will provide new data about these issues.Downloads
