Iqtida al-gafil bi-htida al-aqil

Bibliotheca Islamica (BI) is the Orient-Institut Beirut's platform for the critical edition of mainly Arabic texts. The series dates back to 1929, when Hellmut Ritter edited the Kitab Maqalat al-islamiyin wa- tilaf al-musallin of Abu l-Hasan Ali al-Asari , a seminal text on dogmatic positions in the early Islamic period. Since then, the OIB has published more than fifty titles in this series.
