Notes
The object of this article is to examine and provide a critical edition of the work al-Ajwiba 'alā i'tirāḍāt al-Sab' al-shidād, written by Ottoman scholarMullā Izārī. This work by Mullā Izārī is a rebuttal of Mullā Lutfı̄’s work, al-Sab' al-shidād. Both of these authors had held a discussion in the presence of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II. Mullā Lutfı̄ by royal command wrote the issues discussed in their debate as a treatise, after which Mullā Izārī as well wrote his work by royal command. Based on this background, I first present Mullā Izārī, followed by the name and date of the work and the reason it had been written. I discuss the contents of the treatise and specify the questions that comprised the basis for Mullā Izārī answers, as well as his answers to these questions. I determined that this treatise was written as an objection to Mullā Lutfı̄'s objection against Jurjānı̄. I show that the main point of debate between Mullā Lutfı̄and Mullā Izārī was the issue of the subjects of sciences. Within this framework, I elaborate on the meaning of distinction among sciences related to metaphysics, such as philosophy, common things, theology, and prote philosophia. I discuss the issues pertaining to the philosophy of sciences, such as the subjects of these aforementioned sciences and their distinctions, and analyze the objections raised about the subjects of sciences such as philosophy, kalām, calculations (al-ḥisāb), and arithmetic (al-‘adad), as well as the answers given to these objections. As an interesting problem, I discuss whether the type of proof could differentiate the common issues in the sciences. Throughout the article, I address the differences between how Mullā Lutfı̄ and Mullā Izārī approached the same issues. I especially attempt to show the background of Mullā Izārī's comments underestimating Mullā Lutfı̄. Lastly, I edit the text critically and show all the classical resources cited in the text one by one.
