ʿAḍud al-Dīn al-Ījī (d. 756/1355) and Jalāl al-Dīn al-Dawānī (d. 908/1502) were leading exponents of Ashʿarite philosophical theology in their respective eras, and Dawānī’s Commentary on Ījī’s Creed came to serve as a key advanced-level ʿaqīda and uṣūl al-dīn textbook in Sunni madrasas throughout South and Central Asia and the Ottoman lands up to the end of the 19th century.
Here, for the first time, the Arabic texts of Ījī’s Creed and Dawānī’s Commentary are critically edited and translated into English by a team of experts: Robert Wisnovsky, Fateme Savadi, Walter Young, and Osama Eshera. Also included are discussions of the texts’ composition and structure, an analytical inventory of Dawānī’s sources, and a detailed description of the edition’s manuscript witnesses.
