Summary of Contents: 'Tahẕīb al-Manṭiq va al-Kalām' is a work in logic (Manṭiq) and scholastic theology (Kalām) of Saʿd al-Dīn Masʿūd Taftāzānī (died 792 AH/1390). Two parts of this work have been commented on and annotated since its creation in several works. One of the most important works written on the logic part is Mullā ʻAbd Allāh Yazdī's commentary known as 'Quluhū', which is one of the main textbooks in Shiite seminaries (religious schools).

Summary of Contents: This is one of the famous works in Shiite Kalām. The author, upon the request of the minister Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad Qūhadī, summarized into 10 parts the book of Miṣbāḥ al-Mutahajjid of Shaykh Ṭūsī, and called it Minhāj al-Ṣalāḥ fī Mukhtaṣar al-Miṣbāḥ. He then added to it a further part called Bāb al-Ḥādī ʿAshar on the Principles of Religion to make it complete. Bāb al-Ḥādī ʿAshar was prepared in seven chapters. Chapter one on 'Proving the Creator', chapter two on 'Affirmative attributes', chapter four on Justice,... and chapter seven on Resurrection. There have been many commentaries written on this work, of which one of the most famous works is called al-Nāfīʿ Yawm al-Ḥashr fī Sharḥ al-Bāb al-Ḥādī ʿAshr of Miqdād ibn ʿAbd Allāh Sīvarī Ḥillī. This copy covers from the beginning of the work up to chapter 6, article 3.
