Examination of Shaykh Ṭūsī's General Methodology in his Al-Fihrist
Journal Title: رهیافتهایی در علوم قرآن و حدیث - Year 2008, Vol 40, Issue 81
Abstract
One of the four major works of Shī‘a biographical studies (rijālī) is al-Fihrist by Abū Ja‘far Muḥammad b. Ḥasan b. ‘Alī b. Ḥasan Ṭūsī known as Shaykh al-Ṭā’ifa. As implied from its title, this book was written to represent the names of Shī‘a works and compilations; however, since besides bibliographical information various biographical references are also included in this book, Muslim scholars have recognized it as one of the major four works of biographical studies. In this article, however, we have considered Shaykh's Al-Fihrist simply as a catalog (fisrist) of principles (uṣūl) and works (muṣannafāt) and tried to figure out Shaykh Ṭūsī's methodology in expressing general information concerning the authors and their writings and the way it is presented
