A Lexicon of Al-Farrāʾ's Terminology in His Qur'ān Commentary 1st Ed BRILL

Al-Farr\u0101\u02BE's philological commentary, Ma\u02BF\u0101n\u012B l-Qur\u02BE\u0101n, dating from the beginning of the 9th century, is a rich source for Qur\u02BE\u0101n readings, Qur\u02BE\u0101n codices, Qur\u02BE\u0101n commentary, Arabic lexicography and grammar. This commentary is unique, being the only extant extensive work by a grammarian of the K\u016Bfan school.\nThe Lexicon contains about 3,000 terms and compound terms of grammar, lexicography, commentary, hadith and other Islamic sciences. Each term is presented with an English definition, often followed by an English summary. After the English section, extensive quotations from the original text are adduced in Arabic. Thus, the reader is given easy access to the contexts in which the term occurs.\nThis is one of a number of Islamic religious books I currently have listed, please see my other items if interested. \nActual photos of book for sale, a little sun fading to hardcover otherwise very nice c;
