Abstract:
In 1934, Miguel Asín Palacios published an article describing the contents of a series of tracts by the Andalusi Muslim writer Ibn Ḥazm (d. 456/1064) that had sometime earlier been discovered in Istanbul by Hellmut Ritter.¹ One of the sixteen tracts making up the collection is al-Uṣūl wa-l-furūʿ.² Although the title suggests that it deals with legal doctrine, it is in fact almost exclusively concerned with issues of dogma and might be described as a primitive version of what is arguably Ibn Ḥazm’s most important work: Kitāb al-Fiṣal fī l-milal wa-l-ahwāʾ wa-l-niḥal.³ To my knowledge, al-Uṣūl wa-l-furūʿ has been overlooked...
Note:
Includes translations of passages from Ibn Hazm's "Al-Usul wa l-Furu" on the Bible.
