Michel Cuypers shows that the ancient Semitic texts, of which the Qur'an is a part, do not obey the Greek rhetoric and that their basic principle is therefore not progressive linearity, but symmetry which can take several forms, following precise rules. He argues that the knowledge of this rhetorical code allows for a radically new analysis of the structure and rhetoric of the Qur'an. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing copious amounts of examples from the text, \u003ci\u003eThe Composition of the Qur'an\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new theoretical synthesis of Qur'anic rhetoric as well as a methodology for their application in further exegesis. A landmark publication in the field of Qur'anic Studies, this volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Islamic Studies, Religious Studies and Arabic Studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichel Cuypers \u003c\/b\u003eis Researcher at the IDEO, the Dominican Institute of Oriental Studies, Cairo, Egypt.
