To illustrate this; his teachers included imam Ismail ibn Yahya Al Muzani (a major student of Imam al shaafi), he collected hadith from Imam an-Nasai (author of Sunan an-Nasai, one of the saheeh Sittah) and his students included the great Muhaddith Imam At-Tabarani.The purpose of this treatise was to state the creed of the early scholars of the Hanafi madhab and to indicate its correlation with the views of Ahl As-Sunnah Wal Jamaah in general.Imam Dhahabi (673-748 AH) said about At-Tahawi - He was the muhaddith and faqih of Egypt, equally distinguished in both fields. Whoever reads the word of this Imam is sure to acknowledge his erudition and width of vision.Ibn Kathir (702-774 AH) said - He was the most reliable and correct narrator of hadith and one of the greatest scholars of hadithIbn Hajr Al Asaqalani (773-853 AH) said - He was a reliable narrator, a great scholar , famous jurist , very knowledgeable concerning the controversies of the jurists and a man of keen interests.

THE NEW COMMENTARY ON THE POEMS OF W. B. YEATS is keyed to the COLLECTED POEMS and the POEMS OF W. B. YEATS: A NEW EDITION (1983) and is an invaluable reference guide to both. Founded upon the author's earlier Commentary, it adds to the material in that work and includes new commentaries on the one hundred and twenty-six poems which are collected for the first time in the POEMS OF W. BE. YEATS: A NEW EDITION. The author draws upon Yeats's manuscripts and diaries, his unpublished papers and letters as well as on his published work, particularly his autobiographical and critical writing, and the recollections of his widow, his sister Lily Yeats, and his friends and acquaintances. Books in the poet's library and in the library of the Dublin Theosophical Society have also provided evidence of the wide reading which so often informs Yeats's writing. The NEW COMMENTARY dates the composition of poems where this can be established and gives the place of their first publication. It draws attention to sources for the subjects of poems, offers explanations or interpretations of symbolism and imagery, gives details of the relevant social, historical and intellectual background and quotes apposite comment by other critics and scholars. The NEW COMMENTARY will find a ready market amongst all readers of Yeats's poetry. The author, Alexander Norman Jeffares (1920 - 2005) was an Irish literary scholar. He was Professor of English Studies at the University of Stirling and Vice-Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Oriel College, Oxford, he taught at the Universities of Dublin, Groningen, Edinburgh, Adelaide and Leeds. He was Life-President of the International Association for the Study of Anglo-Irish Literature.

Excerpt from Commentaries on Equity Pleadings: And the Incidents Thereof, According to the Practice of the Courts of Equity of England and AmericaThe present work constitutes an appropriate sequel to my former work on Equity Jurisprudence. In that, my endeavor was to bring together the leading principles of that highly important branch of the science of Law in this, the principles there devel oped are connected with the forms of the proceedings, by which rights are vindicated, and wrongs are redressed, in Courts of Equity. The principles are thus seen in their actual practical ap plications; and many limitations of them, otherwise unobserved, will be easily perceived and constantly illustrated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is the first volume of a three-volume historical and literary commentary on the eight books of Thucydides, the great fifth-century BC historian of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. Of the three books covered in this volume, Book I presents Thucydides' aims in writing the work and the historical background to the war. Books II and III describe the main events of the first five years of the war (431-426) and include Pericles' funeral oration, the plague of Athens, the revolt of Mytilene, the destruction of Plataea, and civil war in Corcyra. Thucydides intended his work to be "an everlasting Possession" and the continuing importance of his work is undisputed. Simon Hornblower's commentary, by translating every passage or phrase of Greek commented on, for the first time allows the reader with little or no Greek to appreciate the detail of Thucydides' thought and subject-matter. It is the first complete commentary written by a single author this century and explores both the historical and literary aspects of the work. A full index is provided at the end of the volume.

This volume contains one of the very few Puritan commentaries on the book of Ecclesiastes. Also included are "Meditations on the Fall and Rising of St. Peter," and miscellaneous sermons.

With a surprising number of people professing a belief that we are living in the Biblical End Times, this lively 1902 deconstruction of the Book of Revelation is even more relevant than ever. Analyzing the final chapters of the Bible on a verse-by-verse basis-and finding much to be contentious about, particularly when it comes to other interpretations of the book-Bullinger reveals a powerful, devotional way to approach Revelation. British clergyman ETHELBERT WILLIAM BULLINGER (1837-1913) was one of the most respected Bible scholars of the 19th century. He is author of numerous works including Great Cloud of Witnesses and How to Enjoy the Bible.

The Meno, one of the most widely read of the Platonic dialogues, is seen afresh in this original interpretation that explores the dialogue as a theatrical presentation. Just as Socrates's listeners would have questioned and examined their own thinking in response to the presentation, so, Klein shows, should modern readers become involved in the drama of the dialogue. Klein offers a line-by-line commentary on the text of the Meno itself that animates the characters and conversation and carefully probes each significant turn of the argument.Originally published in 1965.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

This definitive commentary sheds exegetical and theological light on the books of Judges and Ruth for contemporary preachers and students of Scripture. Listening closely to the text while interacting with the best of scholarship, Chisholm shows what the text mean for ancient Israel and what it means for us today. In addition to its perceptive comments on the biblical text, it examines a host of themes such as covenants and the sovereignty of God in Judges and providence, redemption, loving-kindness, and Christological typology in Ruth. Chisholm offers astute guidance to preachers and teachers wanting to do a series on Judges or Ruth by providing "homiletical trajectories" after each exegetical unit. These show how historical narrative can be presented in the pulpit and classroom, for rich, responsible sermons and lessons.

Although St Thomas Aquinas famously claimed that his Summa Theologiae was written for 'beginners', contemporary readers find it unusually difficult. Now, amid a surge of interest in virtue ethics, J. Budziszewski clarifies and analyzes the text's challenging arguments about the moral, intellectual, and spiritual virtues, with a spotlight on the virtue of justice. In what might be the first contemporary commentary on Aquinas' virtue ethics, he juxtaposes the original text with paraphrase and detailed discussion, guiding us through its complex arguments and classical rhetorical figures. Keeping an eye on contemporary philosophical issues, he contextualizes one of the greatest virtue theorists in history and brings Aquinas into the interdisciplinary debates of today. His brisk and clear style illuminates the most crucial of Aquinas' writings on moral character and guides us through the labyrinth of this difficult but pivotal work.

This edition of Commentary on Revelation contains the original tables, so that readers may comprehend fully the explanations of the author. E. W. Bullinger's commentaries on the Bible are rightfully renowned. He remains a much-consulted source on the Book of Revelation, which has long been considered one of the most unusual and difficult to interpret portions of the New Testament. Many Christians find the text impenetrable, as its insights are hidden behind cryptic passages. A determined Biblical scholar and lifelong clergyman, E. W. Bullinger spent decades poring through the ancient texts of Christianity. He attempts to make even the most difficult passages, shrouded in nuance and unusual phrasing, clear for ordinary believers to understand. He commonly uses letters and lists to better arrange and explain the text, and on occasion uses columned tables to properly present and align information.
