John Penrice's Dictionary and Glossary of the Kor-an first published almost a century ago, has withstood the test of time, and has been an aid to generations of Kor-an students. According to Islamic doctrine the Kor-an is the literal word of God, and it would be introduced by the phrase, "Qiil Allah ta'iilii, God the Exalted said", and when a passage has been recited aloud it will be said, "$adaq Allah al-'Azim, God Almighty has truly spoken".

Preface by R. J. Serjeant.

Thorough familiarity with the Koran is essential to the study of Arabic thought and literature. All readers attest to its purity of style and elegance of diction, and its authority among believers is so great that most works by Muslim writers abound in quotations from the Koran or allusions to its precepts. This helpful guide lists each word under its verbal root, grouping words without roots alphabetically, and provides numerous explanations of the text.

A Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran, first published in 1873, is a reference guide for anyone wishing to better understand the grammar and language of the Muslim holy book. It contains detailed entries on parts of speech and the meanings of words, much of which was hard to decipher because, as the author points out, the Koran was originally written without vowel points. The author also emphasizes that rather than grammar rules being applied to this authoritative text, it in fact influenced Arabic grammar rules. This dictionary is perfect for students of the Koran and Arabic literature who wish to better understand the book, and who are interested in studying how the Koran is applied to other areas of Muslim culture. Little is known about author JOHN PENRICE except that he is the author of A Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran.
