| Item Description | This philosophical treatise of Ibn Sina (died 428/1037) on the soul is incomplete at the end. The text ends in the edition of A. NADER (al-Nafs al-bashariya inda Ibn Sina النفس البشرية عند ابن سينا , Beirut 1968, p.29-38) on p.34, ult. In this edition it has the title Risala fi ma'rifat al-nafs al-natiqa wa-ahwaliha رسالة في معرفة النفس الناطقة وأحوالها (also in the edition of AHMAD FU'AD AL-AHWANI أحمد فؤاد الأهواني ; Ahwal al-nafs أحوال النفس , Cairo 1371/1952, p.181-192). - The text is also preserved in the ms. Maktabat al-Awqaf (Baghdad) 13837/25 (without author and title); it is different from the works with the following titles 1) Risala fi al-nafs رسالة في النفس which is mentioned GAL I 455 nr. 29 and S I 818 nr. 29; a further ms. is Wien 2301 (Mixt.866, 6), fol. 66v-71r. 2) Risala fi quwa al-nafs = Mabhath an al-quwa al-nafsaniya رسالة في قوى النفس = مبحث عن القوى النفسانية (Hadiya lil-amir Nuh Ibn Mansur al-Samani هدية للأمير نوح بن منصور الساماني which is mentioned with mss. and editions in GAL I 455 nr. 30 and S I 818 nr. 30; the ms. Berlin 5341 (no title; called in AHLWARDT Risala fi quwa al-nafs = GAL I 455 nr. 30) is different. Further editions see LANDAUER in Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft 29, 1876, p.339-372 and A.F. AL-AHWANI, Ahwal al-nafs, Cairo 1371/1952, p.143-178. 3) Risala fi (bayan) al-nafs al-natiqa wa-ahwaliha رسالة في (بيان) النفس الناطقة وأحوالها which is mentioned in GAL I 455 nr. 31 and S I 818 nr. 31. 4) Risala fi Ahwal al-nafs رسالة في أحوال النفس which is mentioned in GAL I 455 nr. 32 and S I 818 nr. 32; editions A.F. AL-AHWANI, Ahwal al-nafs, Cairo 1371/1952, p.45-142, also with the title Risala fi al-nafs wa-baqa'iha wa-ma'adiha رسالة في النفس وبقائها ومعادها ; the same title can be found in the edition of HILMI ZIYA ÜLKEN, Ibn Sina Risaleleri II, Istanbul 1953 (= Istanbul Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi yayinlarindan 552), p.109-154. The text of our ms. is, as a comparison with the catalogues can prove, identical with the Risala fi ilm al-nafs رسالة في علم النفس which is mentioned in GAL I 455 nr. 36 (BROCKELMANN has wrongly mentioned S. LANDAUER as editor of the text). For further information about Ibn-Sina-mss. dealing with the soul and sometimes wrongly classified by BROCKELMANN (GAL) cf. G.C. ANAWATI, Essai de bibliographie Avicennienne, Le Caire 1950, Index p.368 s.v. "al-nafs". |
