Abū al-Ḥajjāj Yūsuf b. Muḥammad Ibn Ṭumlūs (Alhagiag Bin Thalmus, d. 620/1223) was a philosopher, physician and direct disciple of Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 595/1198), who lived and practiced rational sciences in Alzira and Marrakesh, a quarter of a century after the demise of his teacher. Ibn Ṭumlūs was not Ibn Rushd's only student who engaged in work on logic, but one of dozens of disciples, suggesting that the supposed simultaneous death of the latter’s philosophy is “grossly exaggerated”. As a valuable window into the practice of logic in 13th century al-Andalus and the Maghreb, Ibn Ṭumlūs' Compendium on Logic (Al-Mukhtaṣar fī al-manṭiq) covers all the parts of “the expanded Organon”, as it was known since al-Fārābī (d. 339/951). The present volume offers a complete critical Arabic edition of this work, with an English and Arabic introduction, notes and indices.

"This edition of Ibn Ṭumlūs’s Compendium on Logic is a significant contribution to several different fields within Islamic studies, including the development of Arabic logic, the history of post-classical Islamic thought, as well as the heritage of Ibn Rushd, in addition to being an essential text for further information about Ibn Ṭumlūs and his thought." Naser Dumairieh, University of Montreal, in: Islamic Studies 59 (2020): 397–406
"Ben Ahmed’s excellent critical edition and study of Ibn Tumlus ‘short’ compendium of logic (at an impressive 500–odd pages…) is long awaited. […] The publication of this important work is therefore a tremendous achievement in filling in important gaps in the story of Ibn Rushd's legacy and an opportunity, at last, to study the work of one of Andalusia's greatest and most unique philosophical minds." Karim Gabor Kocsenda, in The Muslim World Book Review 42/1 (2021)
