Summary note

"In as-Suyūṭī's (1445-1505) The Perfect Handbook of the Qurʼānic Sciences, we find a complete description of the problems concerning the Qurʼānic text that still arise today, of the solutions proposed and the methods employed. This text bears witness to both freedom of debate and the variety of solutions. It is a collection of multiple accounts, both prior to and contemporary with the author, and not simply an isolated, subjective opinion. Its aim is to be the guide for every good Qurʼān commentator because of the abundant information it provides on all the Qurʼānic sciences. This work is invaluable point of reference for the history of the Arab-Islamic culture in general and of linguistics in particular."--Back cover of both volumes.
