Those wishing to use the translation of the book of abu - Mansur by Kate C. Seelye should be warned that Kate has produced a list of the sects of Islam which she claims she extracted from the work of abu - Mansur which she translate. This list has serious erro rs in it which become very clear by just comparing the list with the list of abu - Mansur which he presents in chapter two of “al - Farq bain al - Firaq”. Her translation is not very good and clearly reflect some prejudices and preconceived ideas she may have ha d during this work. Also, she did not get a good copy of the works of abu - Mansur which she used for translation. At many places she claims the text to be not very clear at others she claims some pages missing etc. etc. So anyone wishing to follow this up s hould either should get hold the original works of abu - Mansur or carefully go through the translation of Kate Seelye to get the truth out.
