al-Risāla al-Shamsiyya

The matn is the root of this catalogue. Manuscripts are very numerous (GAL I 612–613, S I 845; for Istanbul and Anatolia the Muʿjam al-makhṭūṭāt II 942–943 cited by TDV). Street counts about 120 lemmata, ‘just over 12,000 words in English translation’. TDV notes that no critical edition of the Shamsiyya or its commentaries existed when it wrote (2010).

The editors argue that the author of the Shamsiyya wrote this commentary on its difficult passages, which would make it the first commentary on the book; they rest the attribution on parallels with ʿAyn al-qawāʿid, Baḥr al-fawāʾid, Jāmiʿ al-daqāʾiq and Sharḥ Kashf al-asrār. The bio-bibliographical sources do not mention it.

The first commentary in the usual lists, by a pupil of al-Kātibī. Street notes a manuscript dated 1280, so it was written in al-Kātibī’s lifetime or soon after, and calls it ‘often critical of Kātibī’s project’.

The most read commentary on the Shamsiyya. Ḥājjī Khalīfa says it was written for the vizier Ghiyāth al-Dīn Muḥammad, son of Rashīd al-Dīn, ‘one of the viziers of Sultan Khudābanda’, and begins ‘inna abhā durarin tunẓam…’; Street dates its completion to 1329, but Penn holds a copy finished in 726/1326 (CAJS Rar Ms 154), which needs checking. GAL calls it ‘al-Quṭbī’ on part I, al-Taṣawwurāt. Not to be confused with Quṭb al-Dīn’s separate treatise on conception and assent (al-Risāla al-Quṭbiyya).

El-Rouayheb: written at the request of someone who wanted Quṭb al-Dīn’s commentary reviewed and corrected; it defends al-Kātibī on the subject matter of logic against al-Ṭūsī. TDV describes it as a commentary on the first part (conceptions). GAL: very popular at first, until al-Jurjānī’s gloss on the Quṭbī displaced it.
