Cuperly gives a short biography of the author, Tibghūrīn b. Dāwud b. ʿĪsà al-Malshūṭī (1st half of the 6th/12th c.), from the Jabal Nafūsa, of whom apparently little is known. Then he lists the ten chapters of the book, and the eight theological questions which are treated. Tibghūrīn intends to explain the fundamentals of the religion, from where the community divides in rival sects. In his analysis Cuperly first treats the fundamentals of religion (Uṣūl al-Dīn) and then the theological questions.
