The Qur'an by Jane Dammen Mcauliffe
This Norton Critical Edition is based on a thoroughly revised and annotated version of the well-regarded Pickthall translation of the Qur'an. Jane McAuliffe introduces the Qur'an as a living scripture, preparing readers for an informed encounter with the text. Topics include the scholarly traditions of the study of qur'anic origins; the centuries of commentary, analysis, and intellectual dissemination that have created a library of qur'anic literature; the history of translations, particularly those in English; and the many ways the Qur'an informs Muslim life and material culture.
Jane Dammen McAuliffe (Ph.D. University of Toronto), the inaugural director of National and International Outreach at the Library of Congress, is the editor of the six- volume Encyclopaedia of the Quran and the Cambridge Companion to the Quran. She is a former president of Bryn Mawr College and a former dean of arts and sciences at Georgetown University.
