In Gender and Muslim Constructions of Exegetical Authority , Aisha Geissinger provides a comprehensive introduction to such quotations, and offers an analysis of their place and significance within the pre-modern genre of Quran commentary, demonstrating that key hermeneutical concepts in classical quranic exegesis ( tafsīr ) are gendered. Bringing together materials which have not previously been examined in detail and utilising gender as a lens through which to study them, this work provides a new approach to the study of pre-modern tafsīr .Islamic history and civilization ;Volume 117.Women transmitters of the HadithHadithAuthoritiesElectronic books.Women transmitters of the Hadith.HadithAuthorities.297.125082Geissinger Aisha976820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461150203321Gender and Muslim constructions of exegetical authority2225325UNINA
