The original text of Miftāḥ al-ʿulūm has been written by Abū Yūsuf Sakkākī(died 626 AH/1229), which was later summarised by Khaṭīb Damishqī (died 739 AH/1338) in a work called Talkhīṣ al-miftāḥ. ‎Taftāzānī has written two glosses on this 'summary', one known as Muṭawwal and then a shorter gloss known as Mukhtaṣar. In other words, when Taftāzānī completed his extensive commentary on Talkhīṣ al-miftāḥ in 748 AH (known as al-Muṭawwal), he then undertook to write another, shorter commentary in 756 AH (known as al-Mukhtaṣar). The current copy is the shorter edition of the writer's commentary on Talkhīṣ al-miftāḥ. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin
