 Though we now have more decent editions of al-Fârâbî’s texts and more complete translations, in English and in French in particular, many such editions and translations are scattered in various books and journals. Gathering all of al-Fârâbî’s available texts is no mean accomplishment. If Oxford University Press would publish The Philosophical Works of al-Fârâbî, as it did for al-Kindî in 2012 (one volume, ed. by P. Adamson &amp; P.E. Pormann), beginning with those still untranslated or not fully translated into English, as well as those whose English translation is hidden in rare books or unusual journals, we would be eternally grateful, but we are well aware that it would require several volumes and much time.
