شَرْحُ إِيسَاغُوجِي

Sharḥ Īsāghūjī (al-Kātī)

al-Kātī · d. 760/1359

Ḥusām al-Dīn al-Kātī's commentary on al-Abharī's Īsāghūjī, one of the most popular ever written on it. It remained the accompanying text with which the Īsāghūjī was studied throughout the Ottoman period, and the Islamisation of Anatolia database lists some 140 manuscript copies. Its glosses include the widely copied one by Mawlānā Qaraca Aḥmad (d. 854/1450) and those of Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Bardaʿī (d. 927/1521) and Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Tālijī (1085/1674–75). For a student it is the classic first commentary on the first logic text.
