The Bab was a strong reader - some would say a strange reader - of the
canonical texts of Islam. The bulk of his earliest writings were in the form of commentaries on these texts. In my presentation, I will discuss the radical notions of textuality underlying the Bab's Qur'anic commentaries. Drawing upon categories from contemporary literary studi... |
