Description: 'ISA IBN ZUR'A: Philosophe Arabe et Apologiste Chretien (Peres et Ecrivains de L'Eglise en Orient) Author: Ibn Zur'a, 'Isa; P. Cyrille Haddad trans; Fouad E. Boustany pref Title: 'ISA IBN ZUR'A: Philosophe Arabe et Apologiste Chretien (Peres et Ecrivains de L'Eglise en Orient) Publication: Dar Al-Kalima, 1971 Description: Paperback. In French with Arabic quotations. vii, 387, [2] pp. 12mo, sewn binding in printed wraps. Spine taped with now yellowed threaded tape, corners bumped, scant pencil checks. 'Isa Ibn Zur'a was a Jacobite Christian in 10th-century Baghdad, among the many Syriac-speaking Christians who translated Greek philosophical and medical works into Arabic. 'Unfortunately the bulk of his work, all his translations and his own philosophical treatises are known to us only by their titles as reported in later biographical works. Only a group of apologetic tractates. has survived in several manuscripts in the Vatican, Paris and Cairo. The author of the present book has extracted from them Ibn Zura's ideas on many philosophical and theological matters and presented them in a systematic fashion. We can thus obtain a balanced view of a tenth-century Christian philosopher's teachings which touch on physics, cosmology, the possible and the real, causality, intelligence, knowledge, truth, virtue, the existence of God and His attributes, the Creation, the Trinity, the Incarnation, the person of Christ, miracles, the immortality of the soul, the Resurrection, and the Eucharist. The value of the well-written text is enhanced by quotation of Arabic passages from the unpublished manuscripts.' (George Krotkoff review in Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt). FINE.
