Ibn Taymiyya
A full list of Arabic manuscripts of Ibn Taymiyya's works is found in ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAlī al-Shibl, Al-Athbāt fī makhṭūṭāt al-aʾimma Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyya wa al-ʿAllāma Ibn al-Qayyim wa al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Rajab (Riyāḍ: Maktabat al-Malik Fahd, 1423/2002), 15-227.
Most of Ibn Taymiyya's works have been published, but new treatises or fuller versions of known works occasionally emerge. I have indicated below the best editions that I am aware of and/or those most often used in scholarship. Newer does not always mean better. Trade editions and repackaging of older editions with various changes (e.g. typesetting, pagination, notes apparatus, editor) are frequent. When consulting reprints, be sure to check the name of the editor. If you are aware of a better or fuller edition of a work than I have listed, please inform me at jon.hoover@nottingham.ac.uk and briefly explain why the new edition is better (e.g. larger range of manuscripts consulted). Thank you. The abbreviations given below are those most commonly used in the scholarship.
Collections of Works:
There are numerous collections of Ibn Taymiyya's works, some of which simply repackage treatises found in other collections. The most important collections for scholarship are MF, AIT, and JR below.
MF = Majmūʿ fatāwā Shaykh al-Islām Aḥmad ibn Taymiyya, ed. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Qāsim and Muḥammad ibnʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad, 37 vols (Riyadh: Maṭābiʿ al-Riyāḍ, 1961-67). MF reprint: (Medina: Mujammāʿ al-Malik Fahd, 2004); retains the pagination of the original (important for scholarly purposes), integrates the corrections from the errata published with the earlier edition, vowels and resets the font for Qur'anic verses, and occasionally "corrects" Qur'anic verses to accord with the Qur'anic text in wide usage today. Archive.org
The following edition of MF is differently paginated and differently named: Majmūʿat fatāwā (with tāʾ marbūṭa added to Majmūʿ). Ed. ʿĀmir al-Jazzār and Anwar al-Bāz, 37 vols. (Al-Manṣūra, Egypt: Dār al-wafāʾ, 1418/1997, 3rd printing 1426/2005). However, the pagination of the original MF is indicated on the margins and should be used for citation purposes. Archive.org
For the sake of traceability in scholarly referencing, please always cite the pagination of the original MF and avoid citing other pagination schemes or cite them only secondarily.
