Muhammad ibn Muhammad Tabrizi: Difference between revisions

'''Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad Tabrizi''' was a thirteenth-century [[Persian people|Persian]] Muslim convertwriter, known for his Arabic commentary on the twenty five propositions at the beginning of Book II of the Jewish philosopher [[Maimonides]]'s ''[[Guide for the Perplexed]]'', on which Maimonides then based his proof of the [[existence of God|existence]], [[Divine simplicity|unity]] and [[incorporeality]] of God. The propositions, derived from [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[Physics (Aristotle)|Physics]]'' and ''[[Metaphysics (Aristotle)|Metaphysics]]'', were merely summarised by Maimonides; Tabrizi gives a detailed discussion of them, based on the work of Arabic authors. It is the earliest known commentary on a part of the ''Guide''.<ref>Remark in [[Colette Sirat]], [[Nicholas de Lange]] (2002), ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=4PRn_bCaFVIC&pg=PA284 Hebrew manuscripts of the Middle Ages]'', Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. {{ISBN|0-521-77079-3}}. p. 284</ref>
