Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī’s (d. 672/1274) Nasirean Ethics is the single most important work on philosophical ethics in the history of Islam. Translated from the original Persian into Arabic in 713/1313, the present text was primarily intended for the Arabic-speaking majority of the people in Iraq. A fine example of medieval Persian-to-Arabic translation technique, this first edition carefully reproduces Middle Arabic elements that can be found throughout the text. Editorial Reviews Review “This meticulous multi-layered scholarship will be of great service to readers of Jurjänl’s translation and can only be commended… Readers interested in the development of philosophical ethics in the Islamic world will be grateful to have this meticulous scholarly edition at their disposal.” - Sophia Vasalou, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society, 138/1 (2018)
