References of Allama Al-Hilli to His Lost Works

Abstract

Allama Al-Hilli (d. 726 AH) played a significant role in the flourishing of the scholarly movement in the Islamic world and its dissemination. It is hard to imagine a student of Islamic sciences who would study without encountering his writings, classifications, and insights in jurisprudence, theology, biographical evaluation, and other fields. Many of his manuscripts have survived, while a considerable portion of his scholarly heritage has been lost, similar to the broader loss of our scholars’ scientific legacy due to the oppression of tyrants and injustice of the unjust.
This study presents what is known to us of Allama Al-Hilli’s lost heritage. We have classified it into three categories:
1.Books that he cited in some of his works and referred to, numbering seven.
2. His works whose manuscripts have reached us but are incomplete, numbering four.
3. Works reliably attributed to him for which we have not found any citations, totaling thirty-eight titles.
