It is mostly about nature, since in nature both God’s existence and his management of his creation become manifest. The text is a link in the chain of transmission of ancient physiologists (<i>aṣḥāb al-ṭabāʾiʿ</i>). It stands in a long tradition of Aristotle, Xenophon, Cicero, Pliny and Galen, but also Christian authors: the Physiologus, Theodoret, Basil, Jacob of Edessa, and in general the Hexaëmeron literature.
