Critical Analysis of the Opinions of some Orientalists on Al-Lughat fi al-Qur ʹan

One of the important fields of exegetical studies of the orientalists is the verification and specifying the date of the old exegetical texts. Al-Lughat fi al-Qurʹan attributed to Ibn ʹAbbas is a collection comprising over three hundred Qurʹanic words in the order of the suras, in which the meanings of the words are given as per their relation to the dialect of one of the Arab tribes or a foreign language such as Persian, Syriac, Nabataean, etc. Winsborough and Rippin have both cast doubt on the attribution of Al-Lughat fi al-Qurʹan to Ibn ʹAbbas; the former by adducing literary analysis and the latter in the same way and by little attention to the chain of transmission (sanad). This article deals with a comparative review of Al-Lughat with earlier exegeses.
