This collected volume of articles, investigating the various exegetical facets of the Sunn polymath Ab Jafar Muammad b. Jarr al-abar (d. 310/923), was born out of a special panel held at the International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in July 2011, co-organised by Michael Pregill and myself, and co-sponsored by the `Qur'an and Islamic Tradition in Comparative Perspective' program unit and SOAS. That panel featured a paper by Ulrika Mårtensson (`What Law, Which Lawgiver? Law and Prophethood in al-abar's History and Commentary') and a preliminary version of my own analysis of how considerations of genre influenced the material selected by al-abar (`Adam and the Fall between History and Tafsr: An Initial Exploration into al-abar's Methodological Strategies').1 Both of these form the basis for articles published in this current issue of the . A further paper by Walid Saleh, which was originally planned for the SBL conference but in fact delivered at SOAS four months later under the title `Al-Mturd (d. 333/944) and the History of Early Tafsr', was similarly expanded upon and integrated into the present volume, alongside invited contributions by Devin Stewart and Torsten Hylén. I wish to thank Helen Blatherwick and Muhammad Abdel Haleem
