    abstract = {Among Christian scholars who especially distinguished themselves 
  in the 10th/11th century Islamic Baghdad were Yahya Ibn ‘Adi 
  (d.974), Ibn Zur‘ah (d.1008), 
  Ibn al-Khammar (d.1017) and Abu ‘Ali 
  al-Samh (d.1027). Some of these Christian translators were no longer relying 
  on the Caliphs or other patrons of learning but often found their own means 
  of living which in turn prolonged their own academic interest. Consequently, 
  some of them were no mere translators any more but genuine scholars, who both 
  kept alive the disciplines they had learnt and taught. The chief architect among 
  them was Yahya Ibn ‘Adi. He was 
  not only the leader of his group but was also dubbed as the best Christian translator, 
  logician and theologian of his times. This is justified in addition by his ample 
  productivity in those fields of enquiry. A considerable number of such works 
  have evidently been used by contemporary and later writers and have also reached 
  us today. Hence, researchers consider that it is in these aspects that his distinctive 
  contributions to scholarship lie and therefore, he deserves more serious study. 
  This study thus, seeks to make an analytical study of Yahya Ibn ‘Adi’s 
  theory of self-management as reflected in his major research on ethics, Tahdhib 
  al-Akhlaq (The Refinement of Character).}
