A new printing from #Intisharat_e_Mawla of the classic #Persian philosophical summa of #Avicenna written for Ala al-dawla Kakuya the #Buyid ruler of #Isfahan 1/ 
Four parts - Logic, metaphysics, physics, mathematics, the last is not extant - the edition was first published 1952 as part of the #Avicenna millennium celebrations 2/
The text is often considered to be like a #Persian version of al-Najat but the logic more closely follows al-Isharat and the order where Metaphysics comes before Physics is more common in post-Avicennian works 3/
