Abstract

Mesut Kaya identifies the sources that Ṭabarī used in his tafsir and provided a thorough analysis of those sources in his book Taberi Tefsirinin Kaynakları. The author also provides the reader with a significant amount of information about the early exegetical tradition. Ṭabarī’s narrations from the first-period commentaries is rigorously eveluated. By doing this, the author offers us with the neccesary information to critically identify, analyze and assess the original and early tafsir sources and works. Through referencing siginificant classical works and names, the book brought to light groundbreaking ways to reread the past and shape the future academic endea-vors in fields such as hadith and tafsir. Because of its strategy, in-depth information, and out-comes, this book significantly contributes to the literature. Kaya, has done a comprehensive and a thorough work in narrowing down and manifesting various works and authors consulted by Ṭabarī. Not sufficing with mentioning the said classical works and auhtors, Kaya, endulged in an intense assesment of every related issue he dealt with in the book. Given the book’s significan-ce, this work, attempts to evaluate the approach and content of Taberi Tafsiri'nin Kaynakları, as well as the author's comments and findings. The author’s reference to Fuat Sezgin and his met-hodology in analyzing isnad, is also referred to and dealt with systematically.
