NAZARIYAT-JOURNAL FOR THE HISTORY OF ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCES, cilt.6, sa.1, ss.124-224, 2020 (ESCI)
In this article, we argue two anonymous manuscripts on Islamic jurisprudential disputation theory ('ilm al-khilaf) to belong to Shams al-Din al-Samarqandi (d. 1322), a scholar in the late period of Islamic thought, based on content analysis and textual phrase comparisons. The manuscripts are not referenced as belonging to al-Samarqandi in the library catalogues or bibliographic studies. The manuscripts are commentaries on two distinct works from Burhan al-Din al-Nasafi (d. 1289), one being on Mansha. al-nazar in which al-Nasafi summarizes 'ilm al-khilaf in theory and practice and the other being on al-Nikat al-daruriyya al-arba'iniyya, which is also known as al-Ustuqussat. Here al-Nasafi inquired about 40 points of disagreement between Hanafiyya and Shafi iyya in al-Nikat. In conclusion, the facts that support our argument are: (a) Preface (hamdala and salwala), and introduction (muqaddima) of the manuscripts match the hamdala,.alwala, and muqaddima from al-Samarqandi's works, (b) in the commentary on al-Nikat, al-Samarqandi referenced his other works by name saying "z.akarna," (c) Kamal al-Din al-Turkani (d. 1354), who wrote a gloss (bashiya) on al-Samarqandi's Sharh al-Fusul declared in the hashiya that the commentaries belong to al-Samarqandi, (d) Sharh al-Fusul and Sharh Mansha. al-nazar have the same assertions and mannerisms on various issues. Lastly, we have appended a critical edition of the Arabic text from Sharh Mansha' al-nazar.
