Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2013 Gorgias Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: In recent years, the Qur'an has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies, in both its role as scripture and as literature within the Muslim community. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsir, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. First published in 1988, this collection of essays marks a significant turning point in the scholarly study of tafsir, bringing the discipline a new prominence and stimulating a new generation of scholars to devote their energy to its study. Although the state of research has improved, many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating the depth and breadth of the literature. Building on the work of Ignaz Goldziher's Die Richtungen der islamischen Koranauslegung and the investigations of Sezgin, Abbott, and Wansbrough, the essays gathered here expose and explore various aspects of the field of tafsir, and their potential for scholarly research. The essays are divided into four main sections: formation and development; genres; sectarian dimensions; and modern trends. Contents: Chapter 1: Origins and Early Development of the tafsir Tradition by Fred Leemhuis; Chapter 2: The Value of the Hafs and Warsh Transmissions for the Textual History of the Qur'an by Adrian Brockett; Chapter 3: Quranic Hermeneutics: The Views of al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir by Jane Dammen McAuliffe; Chapter 4: The Function of hadith as Commentary on the Qur'an, as Seen in the Six Authoritative Collections by R. Marston Speight; Chapter 5: Legends in tafsir and hadith Literature: The Creation of Adam and Related Stories by M. J. Kister; Chapter 6: The Exegetical Genre nasikh al-Qur'an wa mansukhuhu by David S. Powers; Chapter 7: The Rhetorical Interpretation of the Qur'an: i'jaz and Related Topics by Issa J. Boullata; Chapter 8: Lexicographical Texts and the Qur'an by Andrew Rippin; Chapter 9: The Speaking Qur'an and the Silent Qur'an: A Study of the Principles and Development of Imami Shi'i tafsir by Mahmoud Ayoub; Chapter 10: Isma'ili ta'wil of the Qur'an by Ismail K. Poonawala; Chapter 11: Interpretation as Revelation: The Qur'an Commentary of Sayyid 'Ali Muhammad Shirazi, the Bab (1819-1850) by B.
