Abstract: Abū Ḥayyān al-Tawḥīdī (d. ca 1023) was labelled “the littérateur of the philosophers and the philosopher of the littérateurs”. Among other works which made him a model of Arabic literary style, he authored also the Kitāb al-muqābasāt (Book of Mutual Enligthments). The muqābasa 91 contains a glossary of philosophical terms which this article presents for the first time in translation. The relationship of the muqābasa 91 with the oral teaching of Abū Sulaymān al-Siǧistānī is also examined and the source of 48 definitions listed by al-Tawḥīdī is detected in al-Kindī’s Epistle on the Definitions.
