Kohlberg's book is divided into two main parts. The first surveys the life, working methods and literary output of Ibn tÌ£ÄwÅ«s and offers an extended analysis of his library. The second part is an annotated list of all the works (some 660 in number) cited by Ibn tÌ£ÄwÅ«s in his available writings. About a third of these works (both SunnÄ« and ShÄ«‘Ä«) are not extant, and even the existence of some of them has hitherto not been known. The works cover a wide range of subjects, including Qur’Änic exegesis, tradition, history, theology, astronomy and genealogy, and provides a detailed picture of the intellectual world of a medieval Muslim scholar.
Prof. Kohlberg is a leading authority on ShÄ«‘ism, and his monograph is an unusual and important contribution both to the history of Islam and to the history of Arabic literature and science.
