| Publisher Description: A Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran, first published in 1873, is a reference guide for anyone wishing to better understand the grammar and language of the Muslim holy book. It contains detailed entries on parts of speech and the meanings of words, much of which was hard to decipher because, as the author points out, the Koran was originally written without vowel points. The author also emphasizes that rather than grammar rules being applied to this authoritative text, it in fact influenced Arabic grammar rules. This dictionary is perfect for students of the Koran and Arabic literature who wish to better understand the book, and who are interested in studying how the Koran is applied to other areas of Muslim culture. Little is known about author JOHN PENRICE except that he is the author of A Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran. |
