Notes
Philosophical treatise on the question of whether souls are limited or infinite by Abū al-Ḥasan Thābit ibn Qurrah al-Ḥarrānī (Abu al-Hasan Thabit ibn Qurrah al-Harrani; d. 901) written in response to questions put to him by Abū Musá ‘Isá ibn Asad.
The full title is given as (f. 12v, lines 4-6):
One of the issues that Abu Musa asked about
Issa bin Asad
Abu Al-Hasan Thabit bin Qara Al-Harrani
Begins (f. 12v, lines 7-9):
Thabit bin Qurra said in Intsha an answer when he was asked about the matter of souls
Is it finite or not? I am amazed by those who say that He, Blessed and Most High, does not know the particulars, but rather
He teaches colleges...
Ends (f. 16v, lines 1-4):
...And likewise if one of these two terms were to be set
First, he would have needed to establish proof on the other two terms in order for the term to return to what it was
He is not proven, so he is patient and needs proof, and this is a situation that exists in many engineering matters
Sports and others
Colophon
Section at the end of a manuscript text.
(f. 16v, lines 5-9):
The issues were completed, thanks to God and His help
To Him belongs praise always, forever and ever
He has family
This is followed by the book of fifty questions
In breaking the logic of Abu Al-Najah Al-Farid
