Al-Qur’an sebagai kitab suci yang berisi teks-teks sakral, yang merupakan sumber hukum Islam. Dengan kandungan yang universal, telah banyak orang membicarakannya dan menulis, tetapi tetap saja belum dipahami dengan baik. Setelah Nabi Muhammad Saw wafat, persoalan muncul dalam kehidupan sosial yang penuh tantangan dan dinamika persoalan hukum terus berlangsung dan berubah seiring perkembangan dalam permasalahan-permasalahan hukum. Dalam literatur lain dijelaskan bahwa al-Qur’an sebagai great book dalam perspektif budaya yang dapat didekati dengan pendekatan antropologis.Kitabullah al-Qur’an dianggap sebagai petunjuk, tentunya al-Qur’an harus dipahami, dihayati, dan diamalkan. Namun pada kenyataannya, tidak semua orang bisa dengan mudah memahami al-Qur'an, bahkan para sahabat Nabi Muhammad Saw sekalipun yang secara umum menyaksikan turunya wahyu, mengetahui konteksnya, serta memahami secara ilmiah struktur bahasa dan makna kosa katanya.Dalam artikel ini membahas seputar tafsir al-Qur’an dengan al-Qur’an, walaupun masih banyak catatan yang perlu dikembangkan seiring dengan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan yang begitu cepat perkembangannya sejalan dengan fenomena dan problematika sosial keagamaan terhadap tafsir tek-teks kitab suci al-Qur’an. Kata Kunci : TafsirAl-Qur’an dengan Al-Qur’an dan Analisis

This review essay introduces the work of the Egyptian scientific historian and philosopher Roshdi Rashed, a pioneer in the field of the history of Arab sciences. The article is based on the five volumes he originally wrote in French and later translated into Arabic, which were published by the Centre for Arab Unity Studies and which are now widely acclaimed as a unique effort to unveil the achievements of Arab scientists. The essay reviews this major work, which seems, like Plato’s Republic to have “No Entry for Those Who Have No Knowledge of Mathematics” written on its gate. If you force your way in, even with elementary knowledge of computation, a philosophy will unfold before your eyes, described by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei as “written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes—I mean the universe—but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written. This book is written in the mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.” The essay is a journey through this labyrinth where the history of world mathematics got lost and was chronicled by Rashed in five volumes translated from the French into Arabic. It took him fifteen years to complete.

In the present edition “The stylistic and poetical-compositional system of a fairy tale” in 2 volumes, the author's works in the field of the study of the stylistic system of a fairy tale, carried out within the framework of an experimental direction in folklore studies, are combined. The study of the problem in this direction was undertaken by the author on the initiative of the outstanding scientist V.M. Gatsak, Doctor of Philology, Corresponding Member RAS, and was conducted over a number of years. The monograph “Oral stylistic foundations of a fairy tale. Experimental study on the abkhaz material”, which constituted 1 volume of this edition “The stylistic and poetical-compositional system of a fairy tale”, is devoted to topical problems of folklore studies, dictated by the urgent need for a comprehensive audio-visual study of folklore style. The work was carried out according to a special methodology, providing for the study of samples of oral poetry in their living existence in the light of the requirements of the experimental direction in folklore with the obligatory use of repeated recordings of fairy texts at different times, as well as film and photo documents. The aim and task of the research is to reveal the peculiarities of the style of fairy tale narration in their conditionality by the laws of preservation and transmission of traditions. The section “Appendices” contains samples of tabular analysis and intonation recording of typed repetitions, a package of film and photographic documents, a disc with a recording of the text being executed and rhythmic segments.

On January 12th, 1732, John Horsley, Presbyterian divine and schoolmaster, died suddenly at Morpeth at the early age of 46. The following March or April witnessed the publication of his great book, in which real scholarship was for the first time brought to bear upon the interpretation of Romano-British antiquities. The occurrence of this double bicentenary seems to provide an appropriate opportunity for reminding readers of the Journal of the magnitude of the achievement represented by the Britannia Romana. A fully documented account of the author's career, together with an estimate of the value of his work, will appear in the forthcoming volume of Archaeologia Aeliana. For the present purpose, therefore, a brief summary will suffice.
