Présentation

Ce livre est présenté par son auteur comme la poursuite du Die Richtungen der islamischen Koranauslegung de Goldziher. Il propose un panorama de l’exégèse islamique contemporaine. Il s’appuie notamment sur les publications d’ouvrages d’auteurs égyptiens et indiens. Pour ces derniers, il est a noté que J.M.S Baljon est un spécialiste de l’histoire de l’islam indien. (Mehdi AZAIEZ)

Extrait (Préface) p. VII

This study purposes to be a continuation of and a supplement to the last chapter ("Der islamische Modernismus und seine Koranauslegung") of I. Goldziher’s well known work on muslim Koran interpretation (Die Richtungen der islamischen Koranauslegung, Leiden, Brill, 1920).

(...)
The object pursued by the expositions given of Koranic exegesis is two-fold : on the one hand, they are intended to provide Western readers with unpublished information about an essential branch of Muslim scholarship (...)
On the other hand, it is hoped that this survey of all sorts of explanations and inferences may to some extent further Muslim Koran exegesis itself.
