According to Khulusi, Ibn Jinni's recension is likely to have been completed after al-Mutanabbi death as the poems are arranged alphabetically rather than in the chronological order of other manuscripts. In addition, Ibn Jinni uses the posthumous formula: ‘may God have mercy on him’ when referring to another editor of al-Mutanabbi's work. Khulusi believes that based on the evidence contained in the Commentary, Ibn Jinni's version is probably the most faithful representation of the Diwan as it was intended by al-Mutanabbi.[1]
