It is a compendium on the treatise \u003cem\u003eDe generatione et corruptione\u003c\/em\u003e, written by the Imamite theologian and heresiographer Hasan b. Mūsā al-Nawbakhtī (fl. ca. 900). To this day, apart from the title of more than forty works and numerous fragments-taken mainly from his magnum opus, the Book of the Doctrines and Religions (Kitāb al-ārā' wa-al-diyānāt)-only a single treatise of his, the Book of Shî'î Sects (Kitâb firaq al-shî'a), was known to us. The text sheds new light in several ways: firstly, on the the Arabic philosophical tradition, since it was composed during the obscure period between al-Kindī and al-Fārābī (roughly, the 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e half of the 9\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e c.); secondly, on the Greek tradition, since the author makes extensive use of Alexander's lost commentary on De generatione; thirdly, on the formative period of shī'ism, since it helps us to reconstruct how the author borrowed from the Aristotelian tradition the tools necessary to build up a new anthropology compatible with the doctrine of the Occultation which he inaugurated at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marwan Rashed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110443643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110443646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.00d","brand":"Marwan Rashed","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940754817279,"sku":"9783110443646","price":180.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dc41c71c-59c0-45d5-b748-732b374a5f60.jpg?v=1681449000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/al-hasan-ibn-musa-al-nawbakhti-commentary-marwan-rashed-9783110443646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
