Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2013, Vol 16, Issue 43
Abstract
In the tradition of Islamic science and thought, almost all commentaries (sharh) and apostils (hashiya) have been written in the style of the original works which also contain the commentator’s own opinions and syntheses, not in the style of the authentic copies which the commentator attempts to explain only implications of the original text. Looking from this point of view, it is seen that many of the written commentaries and apostils are not the same with the authentic texts, but they have almost been written as independent works from the ones interpreted. Also, those commentaries and apostils written on the Islamic scholars’ works have provided many thoughts to improve and transfer to the others, and form diverse traditions. One of the traditions is ‘the Tradition of Sharh al-Isharat’, which have begun with al-Mas‘udi’s and Fakhr al-Din al-Razi’s commentaries on al-Isharat wa al-Tanbihat which is one the last and the perfect works of the Avicennian thought. In this article, we introduce the important works written in this tradition by pointing out the existence of such a tradition
