Concordance Et Indices De LA Tradition Musulmane: Les Six Livres, Le Musnad D'Al-Darimi, Le Muwatta'De Malik, Le Musnad De Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (8 volumes) (French Edition) [Paperback]

A. J. Wensinck (Author), J. P. Mensing (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1992

This paperback edition of Wensinck's "Concordance" serves a double purpose - one of a practical, the other of a more ideological nature. When the seventh and final volume was published in 1969, followed in 1988 by a volume containing the Indices, it completed 40 years of international academic research. The result was a key to the highly diverse and far from homogenous corpus that constitutes the canonic and most authoritative texts of Islamic tradition, itself a major source for Islamic theology and law, and in addition a source of information on the history of ideas in the formative period of Islam. Many thousands of sometimes ill-accessible works were indexed and a large amount of catchwords were recorded together with their context. As the original leather-bound edition was beyond the financial means of many students and professors, the work now appears in a four-volume paperback edition.
