The Qur'an: A Norton Critical Edition

This Norton Critical Edition is based on a thoroughly revised and annotated version of the well-regarded Pickthall translation of the Qurâ€™an. Jane McAuliffe introduces the Qurâ€™an as a living scripture, preparing readers for an informed encounter with the text. Topics include the scholarly traditions of the study of qurâ€™anic origins; the centuries of commentary, analysis, and intellectual dissemination that have created a library of qurâ€™anic literature; the history of translations, particularly those in English; and the many ways the Qurâ€™an informs Muslim life and material culture.
This Norton Critical Edition also includes:
Â· Seven illustrations.
Â· Fifty judiciously selected texts representing the full spectrum of Islamic religious thought that demonstrate the Qurâ€™anâ€™s
intellectual impact while those from related Near Eastern literatures, including biblical and extra-biblical sources, elucidate
the comparative contexts of qurâ€™anic themes and narratives. A concluding section presents the Qurâ€™an as an American book, with a long history and significant influence in the United States.
Â· A Selected Bibliography.
