A very large commentary by Shaykh Muhammad Sultanabadi known as Sultan al-‘ulama (d. 1382/1963) on the main modern #ShiiSchooltext on Shii #UsulalFiqh by his teacher Akhund Khurasani (d. 1329/1911) #ShiiLegalTheory completed in 1958 1/ 
He also wrote a gloss on his teacher’s #Hashiya on the earlier #UsulalFiqh text of Shaykh Murtada Ansari (d. 1281/1864) Fara’id al-usul #ShiiLegalTheory 2/
Sultan al-‘ulama had also studied with Mirza Taqi Shirazi (d. 1312/1895) in #Samarra #ShiiLegalTheory and philosophy in #Isfahan 3/
Evidence that #Hashiya writing is alive and well in #ToddLawson much delayed publication of his revised #PhD from 1988 with some caveats #Babi #ShiiTafsir #Shaykhis #Bahais 1/
As with most of #ToddLawson writing it is elegantly composed and insightful not least on the very notion of #tafsir as the mystical encounter with the divine in which the letters express the #deus_revelatus of the 14 #impeccables of the #Shii tradition 2/
