Book excerpt: Introducing Arabic Rhetoric is a collection of lecture notes delivered for undergraduate and post-graduate courses taught at Schools within the university of London as well as independent educational colleges. It is merely an introductory book that supplements the classroom material and subject lecture and aims to introduce students to the unique discipline of rhetorical studies as understood and formulated by Medieval Muslim rhetoricians drawing on materials from classical Qur'anic commentary and Arabic linguistics. The book comprises of ten broad chapters outlining preliminary areas and a general exploration of traditional sub-fields within Arabic rhetoric applied to the Qur'an. The book contains primary Arabic source material with all key technical terms translated with extensive notes and a helpful glossary at the end. There is also an appendix at the end that includes an Arabic edition of the primer on rhetoric composed by 18th century jurist, Mystic and philologist Ahmad al-Dardir focusing specifically on 'Ilm al-Bayan ('Figures of Speech') for a small representative text for further study and exploration.
