Sufi Hermeneutics : The Qur'an Commentary of Rashid Al-din Maybudi - Reprint by Annabel Keeler

Description

This is the first major study in a Western language of Rashid al-Din Maybudi's Persian commentary on the Qur'an Kashf al-asrar wa 'uddat al-abrar (Unveiling of Mysteries and Provision of the Righteous). Annabel Keeler explores the interplay between scriptural exegesis and mystical doctrine in a twelfth-century Sufi commentary on the Qur'an. Previously little-known outside the Persian-speaking world, it is increasingly recognized as a key work in the development of Sufi Qur'anic interpretation. This volume provides invaluable background for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of Persian mystical poetry and prose, and other major works of Sufi literature. Over a decade since this book's first publication, the bibliography and notes have been updated.Edition: ReprintNumber of Pages: 408Genre: Religion + BeliefsSeries Title: Qur'anic Studies SeriesFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Oxford Univ PrAuthor: Annabel KeelerLanguage: EnglishStreet Date: December 26, 2017TCIN: 54302268UPC: 9780198814702Item Number (DPCI): 248-48-1208If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
