إنّ صناعة الموسيقى يشتمل على جزئين: أحدهما يسمّى التأليف وموضوعه النغم

Notes

This is the title found in the Najāt. In the Shifāʾ, the title is Jawāmiʿ ʿilm ṣināʿaẗ al-mūsīqỳ. Witnesses need to be checked to see which ones belong to the Shifāʾ and which to the Najāt. Ẓāh. 8656 has been checked and is the Madkhal.
