Abstract This study aims to introduce the commentaries (sharh) written on the short text called al-Aqidah, written by Abu Jafar al-Tahawi (321/933) and its context. As a basic literature survey, it brings forth these works, their bibliographies, contents, wordings and theological traditions. In addition, it tries to exhibit the importance of this commentary (sharh) literature in terms of its ties to the Maturidi doctrine and its reflection on the Ottoman theological literature.
