ANALYSIS OF NEW SOURCES RELATED TO THE MATURIDIYYA SCHOOL OF KALAM

Abstract

The article is devoted to the contribution of Abu Mansur Maturidi to the development of the Science of Kalam in Mawerannahr and the analysis of some new works written by representatives of the Maturidiyya school of kalam. As an important source, the only manuscript copy of Ibn Yahya’s “Sharh jumal usul ad-din” (commentary on the collection of usul science) in Istanbul and as an additional source on the history of the Samarkand Theological School, Abu Hafs an-Nasafi’s “Kitab al-qand fi dhikri ‘ulama’ Samarkand” which was discovered and published in recent years, can be cited. These sources give the views of several groups, including mutakallims, who have their views in the field of kalam.
