Book Synopsis The Vernacular Qur'an by : Travis Zadeh
Book excerpt: This book examines how early juridical and theological debates on the translatability of the Qur'an informed the development of Persian translations and commentaries of the Qur'an. It offers new insight into the development of Qur'anic hermeneutics and its relationship to vernacular cultures, religious elites, education, and dynastic authority.
