This work is both an introduction to the genre of classical tafsir and a detailed study of one of its major architects, al-Tha`labi (d. 427/1035). The book offers a detailed study of the hermeneutical principles that governed al-Tha`labi's approach to the Qur'an, principles which became 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 tafsir through documenting the reactions of later exegetes to al-al-Kashf. This works brings together material never examined before and tries to offer a new way of understanding the history of Qur'an exegesis
