Introduction and Annotated Edition of the Prime Chapters by Shmuel Tamari and Yoel Koch.

The superb early medieval al-Kisa’ı whose millenium hidden Kitab ‘aja-’ib al-Malakut has been completely uncovered by the editors who have elementarily reconstructed his hitherto unknown biography; having enlightened the real substance of Islamology. That reality is synoptically put his own written opus maius does qualitatively and quantitatively constitute the whole textbook of the earliest Judeo-Muslim authentic erudition following which the current islamology should be updated. Being a polemical compilation its proper edition has required a totally new methodology; within it only a single paradigm is presented here: “interpretive thematical codicology” that combining with the other systems substantializes the comprehensively annotative exclusive edition in its entirety.
