Logica Algazelis Introduction and Critical Text

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 August 2017

Extract

The (‘The Meanings of the Philosophers’) of Abū al-Ghazālī († 1111) is the first part of a composite work in which the author — the theologian of Islam par excellence — takes a considered stand with regard to the teachings of the philosophers, especially al-Fārābī and Ibn Sīnā. In the first part his purpose is simply the presentation of their doctrines in logic, metaphysics and physics. The second part, the famous Tahāfut al-falāsifa (‘The Incoherence of the Philosophers’), aims at exposing their self-contradictions on many points — the eternity of the world, God's knowledge of singulars, etc.

37 After H. Bédoret, ‘Les premières versions tolédanes de philosophie,’ Revue néoscolastique de philosophie 41 (1938) 80-97, 374-400, suggested that the translations were commissioned not by the Archbishop Raymond but by his successor, John, it was shown by M. Alonso-Alonso, S. J., that we must distinguish John of Seville from the collaborator of Gundissalinus and that the latter's activity must be put into the second half of the century: ‘Notas sobre los traductores toledanos Domingo Gundisalvo y Juan Hispano,’ Al-Andalus 8 (1943) 115-88; ‘Traducciones del arcediano Domingo Gundisalvo,’ ibid. 12(1947) 295-338, esp. 331-3; ‘Traducciones del árabe al latín por Juan Hispano (Ibn Dāwūd),’ ibid., 17 (1952) 129-51; ‘Juan Sevillano: sus obras propias y sus traducciones,’ ibid. 18 (1953) 17-49.Google Scholar

18 Non: One would expect something like Complexum est cuius pars aliquid significat de intellectu totius sicut hoc …, but it seems to have been missing also in the original (cf. Alonso 14; Beer 29). Al-Ghazālī's source, however, did have a definition of a complex diction (L'autre sorte est dite composée et consiste en ceci: les parties du terme désignent les parties du sens; par exemple, tu dis ‘l'homme est sage’ ou bien ‘l'homme sage’ — Ibn Sīnā, Dānish Nāmeh [transl cit., (introd. n. 24) at p. 26]).

80 ensis, muero, gladius = layt y asad (lobo); vino y bebida alcohólica (Alonso 16); der Löwe, der Leu; der Wein, der Rauschtrank (Beer 31). The translators have replaced the examples of the original with the standard examples of the Latin tradition, but have at the same time confused the terminology. Ensis etc. are in Martianus Capella, De nupt. philol. et merc. IV 357 (ed. Dick; Leipzig 1925), an example for plurivocum; in Boethius, In Categ. I (PL 64. 164) (cf. In Porph. com. sec. II 6 [PL 64. 96]), an example for multivoca; in Alcuin, De dialectica 3 (PL 101.955), an example of polyonyma. On the terminology, cf. Alonso 15 n. 7.Google Scholar

84 canissidere = ayn (ojo) respecto del oro, del sol, de la balanza, del ojo de agua (Alonso 16). Again cf. Boethius, De interpr. pr.
