It has been an essential text of school curricula since its inception in the thirteenth century, making it one of the oldest works in continual use since its dissemination, 'rhis edition of the Isaqoge contains the complete vocalized Arabic text with facing English translation. This is followed by extensive commentary, including helpful diagrams and tables, that makes it an indispensable book for scholars and students of Arabic logic and those seeking to engage with classical Islamic texts. Feryal Salem’s (1111), University of Chicago, 201؛3) translation and commentary on the Isagoge make this otherwise (lense text accessible to the reader.
