Description

Athīr al-Dīn al-Abharī's Isagoge is a foundational logic text from the Islamicate world. This concise summary outlines the basic elements of logic, including proper definitions, valid syllogisms, and logical fallacies. The text has been an integral part of educational curricula since its inception in the thirteenth century, making it one of the oldest works to remain in use today. This edition features the complete vocalized Arabic text alongside a facing English translation, accompanied by extensive commentary that includes helpful diagrams and tables. Feryal Salem's translation and commentary make this dense text accessible to readers seeking to engage with classical Islamic logic texts.
