Lubab al-Muhassal

Although Ibn Khaldūn had written the book in Tunis, it was only in manuscript form, however, it was undoubtedly prepared by Khaldūn sometime between 1372 (774 AH) and 1374 (776 AH), while living in Fez, Morocco. Both the later copies as well as the 1351 original manuscript are still extant, written in the author's handwriting.

An English translation of Khaldūn's work, entitled Treatise in Logic, was published in 1952.

The book is thought to be something of an exam paper or final project for his master, Al-Abili; the book testifies to Ibn Khaldūn's early grasp of the philosophical and theological material of the Takhlis al-Muhassal, a standard work of kalam.
