Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Nahjul Balagha Part 1, The Sermons Bibliography of Alternative Sources of Nahjul Balaghah In the following bibliography, works written before or about the same time as Nahjul Balaghah (400/1009) are indicated by asterisk, one for extant works and two for those which, apparently, have been lost.

An asterisk upon a title in the lists of sources indicates an edition of it used by the marhum Imtiyaz `Ali Khan `Arshi, and its particulars are mentioned here after that of the edition of it referred to by `Abd al-Zahra' al-Husayni. This bibliography is based on those given by `Abd al-Zahra' (in vols. I & IV of his work), who, unfortunately, does not mention the year of publication of many books, some of which may be presumed to have been undated by the publishers.
