Mukhtaṣar al-Maʿānī

Saʿd al-Dīn al-Taftāzānī · d. 792 AH Advanced Planned

Rhetoric at full strength — al-Taftāzānī on al-Qazwīnī’s summary of al-Sakkākī. The text that stands between a reader and any serious claim about the Qur’an’s style.

The text

Public domain, no copy we can vouch for yet

Al-Taftāzānī died in 792 AH. The text is public domain but the open libraries carry it only as a download of a modern Qom edition, not as a page anyone can read. Bought in print.

Where it is sold

In English — ours

Not yet. We translate rather than reprint, so the English for this book begins the day its first lesson is taught.

We link rather than mirror. The classical texts are out of copyright, but the modern printed editions of them are not, so we point you at a library that already carries one instead of putting somebody else’s edition on our server. What we do host is our own work.
