Firstly, a general context is provided about the context of the Qawānīn in al-Fārābī's work and in the Arabic philosophical tradition. Secondly, a possible thematic division of the text is proposed. And thirdly, the peculiarities of the translation are specified, referring to the text taken as a basis and the main translation decisions.
