On the basis of a textual comparison between al-ʽĀmirī’s work, the Greek text of Proclus and the Arabic writings of the \u003ci\u003eLiber de Causis\u003c\/i\u003e-tradition, the book argues for the existence of a “Ur-\u003ci\u003eLiber de causis\u003c\/i\u003e”.","brand":"Elvira Wakelnig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48311029629179,"sku":"9789004152557","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_11cc41b4-bcb1-47c4-bf6d-96ad0ba0f0dc.jpg?v=1775088642","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/feder-tafel-mensch-9789004152557","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
