  Ibn Kammuna’s most significant contribution to the history of philosophy is his detailed commentary to Suhrawardī’s al-Talwīḥāt.  (Several editions have appeared and are discussed in the last section of this entry). This is the first known commentary to that work, which, though more Aristotelian than other writings of Suhrawardī, still conveys essential points of the Ishraqi philosophy. Directly through his commentary, and indirectly by means of his influence upon Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shirazī (1236–1311), Ibn Kammuna was very instrumental in the initial phases of the exposition and diffusion of Suhrawardī’s thought.
