The foreign vocabulary of the Qur'ān
Republication of Arthur Jeffery's important study, "The Foreign Vocabulary of the Qur'an", offers a new generation of scholars and students access to this foundational text. Arranged in Arabic alphabetical order, Jeffery's compendium of philological scholarship remains an indispensable tool for any serious study of Qur'anic semantics.
