Summary

  • Kitāb al-Sittinī (The book of sixty sciences) is a scientific encyclopedia written by one of the foremost intellectuals of the 12th century, the Persian philosopher Fakhr al-Din Razi (1149 or 1150-1210). Razi dedicated his work, which is also known as Jāmiʻ al-ʻulūm (The encyclopedia of sciences) to ʻAlaʼ ad-Din Tekish, the Khwarazmshahi ruler (reigned 1172-1200), near the beginning of the latter's reign. As the title suggests, Razi treats 60 distinct branches of knowledge in his work, ranging from al-kalam (theology) to adab al-muluk (the conduct of kings). It is unfortunate that only portions of this important work have been subject to modern critical studies. The edition presented here is a lithographic print that was published by the Muzaffari Press in Bombay (present-day Mumbai, India), in the month of Ramadan, 1323 AH (March-April 1905).
