The first volume of the collected major articles of Richard M.
Frank, pioneering student of Islamic theology (kalam), contains
fifteen essays. It includes his early studies, classic but
inaccessible for many in their original publication, on the text
and terminology of Graeco-Arabic translations (De anima, Themistius
on the Metaphysics, Plotinus in Syriac, 'anniya) and the
terminology of early kalam. Other articles deal with Islamic
theology and its early development, especially in its relation to
philosophy (in particular the kalam of Jahm ibn Safwan and
al-Ghazali), and the text and translation of two short dogmatic
works by the mystic al-Qushayri. The collection is prefaced by a
fascinating autobiographical memoir which traces the intellectual
development of the author and the reasoning that led him, from
study to study, to his discovery of the way of thinking of the
theologians and to an understanding of the essential core of
Islamic theology.
