It is the most important of the works ascribed to Ibn Waḥshīyahan 'author' whose very existence has been called into question. Whether real or fictionalIbn Waḥshīyah is famous as a transmitter of supposedly ancient Babylonian writings. In the Filāḥah he claims that he translated the work from the 'language of the Chaldees' (i.e. Syriac) into Arabic in the year 904but that the book was written thousands of years before by a certain Babylonianwho drew on even older works. Opinions differ on whether the Arabic really was translated from the Syriac; some scholars favouring a Pahlavi (Middle Persian)or a Greek original. This book was extremely popular in the Islamic worlddespite its pagan character."'Opening.'
