Philosophical letters by Ibn Bajjah
First section
And from his words
What he sent to Abu Jaafar Yusuf bin Hasdai
From his words in the melodies
May God be pleased with him
And from his words on
Ibana Fadl Abdul Rahman bin Sayed Al-Muhandis
And he, may God be pleased with him, wrote to
Minister Abi Al-Hassan bin Al-Imam
Gain evidence
God is the Grantor and Helper
And from his words, may God be pleased with him
On the nature of natural longing
It is also said
And it's another
What was found of what Al-Hakim said about what took place between him and the minister
In the first picture and the first article
His words in Nilofar
And from his words in the research
It was not removed and with what it was removed
Propensity
A letter to Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Yahya
In the mobile
In unity and one
