Description
Summary:In the introduction the author positions the LI vis-à-vis the different exegetical traditions (juridical, encyclopedic, and theological), arguing that it belongs to what Walid A. Saleh calls the "Nishapuri school" of exegesis. [...]as Nguyen points out, QushayrT's TafsTr is "located and contextualized onto a number of different but overlapping historical axes" (p. 16). In doing so, he provides a reasonable hypothesis about the plausibility of the attribution of those manuscripts to QushayrI. [...]Nguyen clarifies the confusion about the above-mentioned tafsïr and Abu Nasr al-Qushayrl's (Qushayrl's fourth son) commentary.
