Document Details : Title: New Insights into the Logic of Ibn Wāṣil al-Ḥamawī (d. 1298) Author(s): FALLAHI, Asadollah , LAMEER, Joep Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 81 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2024 Pages: 30-50 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.81.1.3293877 Abstract : When in Mecca in 624/1226-7, the Iranian-born judge and logician Afḍal al-Dīn al-Khūnajī (d. 646/1248) wrote a short work on logic called al-Jumal for a local scholar. This densely written, impenetrable work later saw a whole series of commentaries, especially in North Africa, the first one by his student and polymath Ibn Wāṣil al-Ḥamawī (d. 697/1298). The present edition is the first edition of Ibn Wāṣil’s commentary and the first to be edited from among the commentaries mentioned. After a brief review of the Introduction and the methodology of the edition, the remainder of this article will delve into a number of logical issues bearing testimony to Ibn Wāṣil’s genius and independence. |
