Summary:

The third volume of the Handbook of Qur'ānic Hermeneutics, edited by Georges Tamer, delves into the approaches to Qur'ānic interpretation from the 13th to the 19th century. This scholarly work examines the adaptation and preservation of traditional methods alongside the development of new contextual interpretations. It highlights the impact of historical and geographical shifts, such as the fall of Baghdad and the rise of scholarship in regions like Khurasan and Transoxiana. The text explores the diversity within Qur'ānic hermeneutics, including Sunni, Shiite, and mystical perspectives, and the use of various disciplines such as linguistics, theology, and jurisprudence to interpret the Qur'ān. The work also discusses the influence of key figures like Ibn ʿArabī on Qur'ānic exegesis and the emergence of the Akbarī school. Aimed at scholars and students of Islamic studies, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the intellectual evolution of Qur'ānic interpretation during this period. Generated by AI.
