Qur'anic Prosody

This is a wide-ranging monograph on rhyme and rhythm in the Qur'an, drawing on and attempting to synthesize several disparate strands of medieval and modern criticism. It identifies, analyses, evaluates, and critiques the major discussions extant from the medieval Islamic patrimony, primarily in rhetorical manuals but also in commentaries on the Qur'an and various ancillary genres, which reveal the workings of Qur'anic prosody.
