Shaykh Tusi was one of the most prominent Muslim theologians and jurists in the fifth century AH. Fifty-four works have been attributed to him, of which only 30 works are available and 24 works are missing. His works are mainly concerned with the following seven topics: theology, jurisprudence, hadiths, rijal, Quranic studies, and principles of jurisprudence, and supplications. The present research includes two parts: first, a descriptive bibliography of primary works by Tusi; and second, a bibliography of contemporary secondary literature on Tusi and his works.

Reviews

Ahab Bdaiwi

“This is a much welcomed contribution to the studies of al-Shaykh al-Tusi, arguably the most innovative and towering Shiʿi thinker in the medieval period. The author does well to survey and annotate recent and not so recent works on al-Tusi’s life, thought, and ideas in context. This work is a major development in the burgeoning sub-fi eld of Shiʿi studies in Europe and will undoubtedly be of immense benefit to researchers and scholars in the field.”

Robert Gleave

“This is a very well extremely useful resource for all of us who study the history of Shiite Islam in general and Shaykh Tusi in particular. Careful, detailed and well-referenced, this will be an important resource for many years.”

Andrew J Newman

“The Mufid Academic Seminary is to be very greatly thanked for this annotated bibliography for Shaykh Ṭūsī. It is a superb contribution to the fi eld of Islamic studies generally and Shī`ī studies in particular. The inclusion of references to Arabic and Persian-language secondary sources is especially welcome. This is an excellent follow-up to Shaykh Mufīd, An Annotated Bibliography. Both belong on any list of essential reference works! More please!”
