(1) (Ayn) reads: “He complained.” (2) (Ayn) reads: “Then he wept.” (3) (Ayn) reads: “He extends beyond the Throne”; (B) and (A): “The Throne extends beyond Him”; (N) and (M): “He separates the Throne from Himself.” The reading adopted in the text is from (K).

He secretly espoused *zandaqa* (heresy) and dualism. Al-Khayyāt stated that he was Ibn al-Rāwandī’s teacher in these beliefs. Abū ‘Īsā al-Warrāq died in Baghdad in 247 AH. In *A‘yān al-Shī‘a*, al-‘Āmilī listed his works, including *Kitāb Ikhtilāf al-Shī‘a wa-l-Maqālāt* (The Book of Shi‘a Disagreements and Doctrines). He then wrote: “*Kitāb al-Maqālāt* (The Book of Doctrines) is al-Warrāq’s best-known work. In it, he presents the history of religions and sects and explains the views and beliefs of the various groups. It is one of the best-known and most highly regarded early works on this subject. It is cited by al-Mas‘ūdī, Abū al-Hasan al-Ash‘arī, Abū al-Rayhān al-Bīrūnī, al-Shahrastānī, ‘Abd al-Qāhir al-Baghdādī, and Ibn Abī al-Hadīd.” For al-Warrāq’s biography and reports concerning him, see: *Lisān al-Mīzān*, 5/204; *A‘yān al-Shī‘a*, 47/105–107; al-Najāshī, *al-Rijāl*, p. [0–9]08; al-Khayyāt, *al-Intisār*, pp. [0–9]3, 108, 110, 111; Ibn al-Nadīm, *al-Fihrist*, p. [0–9]73; *Murūj al-Dhahab*, 4/104–105; al-Tūsī, *al-Fihrist*, p.
