Successive chapters explore the bases of authority in the institutions of religion and law; biographical literature and handbooks of law; compendia of scientific and philosophical learning based on Iranian and Greek sources; and the more specialised expositions of mathematics and philosophy. The special character of Muslim institutions, their teaching traditions and syllabi is also put into perspective. This is a reference work for the principal genres of 'enyclopædic' outlines and manuals - biography, legal handbooks, historiography of knowledge transmission, cosmography, and the philosophical sciences - and a major contribution to the literary and intellectual history. 410 0$aIslamic philosophy, theology, and science ;$vv. 61. 606 $aEncyclopedias and dictionaries, Arabic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIslamic learning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aEncyclopedias and dictionaries, Arabic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIslamic learning and scholarship$xHistory. 676 $a039/.927 686 $a02.01$2bcl 701 $aEndress$b Gerhard$f1939-$01761226 701 $aFilali-Ansary$b Abdou$0692424 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818124703321 996 $aOrganizing knowledge$94200541 997 $aUNINA
