Ulum al Qur'an An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'an (Koran)

The first survey of this important subject in a Western language. This exceptionally clear and helpful introduction to the study of the Qur'an is free of jargon and contains a large number of facts and insights regarding the Scripture of Islam.

This classic and popular introduction to the sciences developed to interpret and understand Islam's holy book is ideal for all serious students of the Koran. Precise, yet comprehensive, it covers the traditional disciplines, including the meaning and contexts of revelation, the history and transmission of the text, and exegesis, as well as more contemporary topics like the recording of the Koran, the history of Orientalist approaches, and a survey of translations. It ends with a guide for the correct recitation of, and etiquette toward, the Koran.
