HIGHLY INTERESTING ARABIC MANUSCRIPT ON LOGIC AND GRAMMAR DA-UD AL-ASHKASI & HUSAM AL-DIN AL-KATI. Commentary on Aḥmad ibn Masʻūd’s (+) Commentary on Athīr al-Dīn al-Abharī’s.(Presumably Yemen), 1772. Unrecorded Arabic manuscript containing two highly important treatises, the first of which is of the utmost scarcity (only three other manuscript copies of the work are known), and the other of which is of the utmost importance to the development of logic in the Arab world. The two works bound here on logic and grammar have clearly been thoroughly studied, both by the scribe, whose name has sadly been erased, and by later readers. The comments almost constitute a work in its own, and there may be much new material to be found here, for the serious scholar. This kind of supercommentary is extremely interesting and will reveal a lot about the development of logic in the Arab world over the numerous centuries that this supercommentary has come to cover - documenting an entire tradition of one of the most important disciplines from the middle ages.
