This work is both an introduction to the genre of classical "tafs?r and a detailed study of one of its major architects, al-Tha?lab? (d. 427/1035).The book offers a detailed study of the hermeneutical principles that governed al-Tha?lab?'s approach to the Qur??n, principles whichbecame the norm in later exegetical works.It is divided into three main sections; the first outlines the life and times of the author; the second is a detailed study of his major exegetical work, "al-Kashf; the third charts a brief history of the genre of "tafs?rthrough documenting the reactions of later exegetes to "al-Kashf.This work brings together material never examined before and tries to offer a new way of understanding the history of classical Qur??n exegesis.
