Marijn van Putten: al-D¿n¿'s Tays¿r f¿ al-qir¿¿¿t al-sab¿, Gebunden

Blurb

Al-Taysr f al-Qirt al-Sab by the 11th century Andalusian scholar Ab Amr al-Dn is one of the most influential descriptions of the seven reading traditions of the Qurn. It is the work on which the later didactic poem by al-Šib was based, which still stands as the basis for the teaching of the reading traditions among Muslim specialists. This book makes the highly technical genre of the Qurnic reading traditions accessible through a rigorous translation of al-Dn's work with extensive elucidating footnotes. Besides a full translation of the text, the book also includes an in-depth introduction, which lays out the history of the reading traditions, details of their transmission, the technical terminology of the Qirt genre, and summarises the linguistic principles of the reading traditions using modern linguistic terminology and illustrative tables
