Contents

Summary of Contents: 2 works by 2 authors on the subjects of Persian poetry, Qasidas, Koran, Tafsir, and Shīʻah Doctrines Early works to 1800
1. ff. 1Bv-26r
Author: Anonymous
Title: Tafsīr-i Sūrah-i Yā-Sīn
Title: تفسیر سورۀ یاسین

An anonymous Shīʻi commentary on Sūrah 36 (Yā-Sīn )

The author speaks first of the importance of the sūrah and of the meaning of the name Yā-Sīn. He then comments on the Qurʼānic text piece by piece. It is his practice to prefix a Persian paraphrase to his comments on each passage. He explains at some length the asbāb al-nuzūl and the historical allusions. No previous commentators or commentaries seem to be mentioned by name. The manuscript begins abruptly and would appear to have been copied from one which had lost the beginning. The title is written on f 1Ar in a later hand

Language(s): Persian and Arabic
