The list presented by Ibn Abi Usaybi‘a numbers one hundred and seventy-three works, including brief essays and treatises. The subjects reflect the variety of ‘Abd al-Latif’s interests. Thirteen writings are listed which deal with the Arabic language, lexicography, and grammar, two with fiqh, nine with literary criticism, fifty-three with medicine, ten with zoology, three on the science of tawhid (unity of God), three on history, three on mathematics and related disciplines, two on magic and mineralogy, and twenty-seven on other themes. There are forty-eight works concerning philosophy: nineteen on logic—two of which are against Avicenna and the theory of conditional syllogisms—ten on physics, eight on metaphysics, and nine on politics. Two general works are also mentioned, divided into three sections: logic, physics, and metaphysics; one of these was in ten volumes and was completed by the author over a span of twenty years.
