TA’LIM AL-MUTA’ALLIM BY IMAM BURHAN AL-DIN AL-ZARNUJIOctober 14, 2009 · by Bilal Ali Ansari · in Education. ·Many readers may be acquainted with the translation of Imam Burhan al-Din al-Zarnuji’s famous collection of advices for the student of knowledge entitled Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Tariq al-Ta’allum (Instruction of the Student: The Method of Learning).Although the English translation of the book is generally sound, there are numerous instances in the translation where the Arabic expressions have been misunderstood, mistranslated, or lost in translation. The true meanings of the book and the power of the author’s prose (not to speak of the poetry) can only be understood in their original language.Attached is a published version of the book in the original Arabic:Talim al-Muta’allim Tariq al-Ta’allumFor those readers interested in a manuscript version of the book,I have also provided a link for them below:http://makhtota.ksu.edu.sa/makhtota/2706/1http://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showthread.php?t=35278You can also find a commentary on the book by Imam Zayn al-Din ibn Isma’il in manuscript form. I believe work is being done (or may be complete) on publishing an edited version of this manuscript.
