Abstract

al-Maybudī’s Qur’an commentary and the aims of his scholarly project as a Ṣūfī author in the Anṣārī tradition. Also to be noted are the errors appearing in the text, which include some missing citations and references (p. xvi: Kashf al-asrār, read Kashf al-asrār; p. xxi: Ançārī, read Ansārī; p. 98, n. 23: spacing; p. 120, n. 25: Ikhwān rather than Ijwān; p. 122, n. 57: no citation or page number included; p. 213, n. 8: no italicisation for chapter titles in Arabic; p. 112: nā daryafta, read nā dar yāfta; p. 144, n. 27: incomplete footnote citation; p. 201, n. 27: read Kashf, II, p. 93).
