Abstract:
The study of thematic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) in Indonesia focuses primarily on the products of interpretations written in the 2000s, with little attention paid to the origins of thematic interpretations in Indonesia. This article will look at different ways of presenting thematic interpretations in the Indonesian commentary literature prior to the 2000s. This article will also investigate whether the development of the form of interpretation in the Middle East, particularly Egypt, has had any impact on the form of Indonesian thematic interpretation. The methodology used in this study is a literature review based on thematic interpretations (mawḍū‘ī) of several Egyptian commentators, including Amīn al-Khūlī (d. 1966), Mahmūd Shaltut (d. 1963), Bint Shāti’ (d. 1998), ‘Abd al-Hayy al-Farmawī (d. 2017), Hassan Hanafī (d. 2021), and Mustafā Muslim (d. 2021). The authors also use content analysis to examine some of the Indonesian commentary literature. The conclusion of this article demonstrates that thematic interpretation discourse in Egypt had a significant influence on the development of thematic interpretation in Indonesia, particularly interpretation literature published in the 1990s. This influence can be seen in the presence of a glossary and an index of discussion topics, complete with Qur’anic verses and arranged alphabetically or chronologically. This is in keeping with the spirit of Amīn al-Khūlī (d. 1966), who emphasized the importance of thematic discussions in determining the Qur’anic viewpoint on specific issues.

Abstract:
Among the 520 AB entries of the Liber glossarum, 17 give interpretations of Hebrew, Syriac and Chaldaic names. They represent a little more than 3% of the total. Their main sources are Eucherius of Lyon, Instructiones II, Isidorus of Sevilla, Etymologies VII and some biblical commentaries of Hieronymus, whose Liber interpretationis nominum Hebraicorum is the most important source of Eucherius and Isidorus. The immediate and ultimate sources of each interpretation are indicated and then the compiler’s method of working is explained. Paradoxically, most of the time, the compiler introduces interpretations of Hebrew names by a simple ‘‘ interpretatur’’, without mentioning the Hebrew language.

Abstract:
This research aims to explore the grammatical interpretations found in in the Udāna Aṭṭhakathā, a commentary attributed to Ᾱcariya Dhammapāla. The Udāna Aṭṭhakathā represents a significant work within Theravāda Buddhism. Ᾱcariya Dhammapāla, following the Mahāvihāra tradition, wrote the commentary on Udāna, by giving more information and elucidation of words with grammatical interpretation. Through this library research, this research investigates the methodology utilized by Ᾱcariya Dhammapāla in his commentaries. It highlights his method to follow the traditional grammatical rules while providing an interpretation of the canonical texts. The study draws upon primary and secondary sources to investigate Ᾱcariya Dhammapāla's approach to grammatical interpretation. Pāli literature including canon and commentaries are considered as the primary sources. While, secondary sources represented by books, journals, articles and previous research related to the topic. As results, this research provides deep understanding on the Ᾱcariya Dhammapāla's commentary, his methodology in writing the commentary and the grammatical interpretations in his commentary.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTCommentaries are derivative texts formed by commentators' interpretations of classics texts, which not only reflect the commentators' understanding and values in their era but also play an irreplaceable role in contemporary people's understanding of classics texts. At present, the literature in which commentaries are written collected by the library is organized in commentator‐centered and it is difficult to efficiently collect all the commentaries of the same classic texts and analyze the citations in the annotation texts. The development of Semantic Web technology has changed the way of knowledge representation and provided new ideas and methods for the organization and sharing of commentaries. We use the seven‐step method to design the HERU ontology. Finally, we conduct a semantic annotation experiment using some commentaries of the Analects of Confucius as an example to illustrate the practicality of the ontology in constructing annotation diachronic evolution and citation data. This study is of great significance to the inheritance and interpretation of Chinese classics and has reference significance for the semantic management between classic texts and their commentaries in other countries.

Abstract:
Many modern scholars consider the Old Testament book of Jonah being written in a boldly parodic manner. The narrative engages many details that sound humorous for a modern reader. However, from the standpoint of late Antique and early Medieval patristic exegesis, it is often unclear whether Byzantine interpreters perceived such passages laughable or at least inappropriate for a prophetic writing. This study presents a few examples of early Byzantine commentaries to the episode with Jonah and a gourd (Jonah 4:6–11). None of the commentaries expresses any explicit amusement caused by the discussed text. However, the style, method, or context of each commentary appears to be passing the traditional bounds of Bible interpretation. The earlier interpreters adhere to the most expected moral reading of Jonah 4, but they use epithets, metaphors, or omissions, which produce the effect of paradox comparable to the biblical wording itself. The later commentaries tend to involve unexpected and even provocative senses. In such interpretations, God can be thought of as being able to play with a human or even to fool and deceive. What seems us humorous in the Bible, Byzantine commentators take primarily as a paradox, which they did not explain or remove but elaborate further paradoxically. The later an interpreter is, the bolder his paradoxical approach appears. The results of the study provide some clues to understanding how the interpretation of humorous, parodic, or ironical passages were developing in the history of Byzantine intellectual culture.

Full text
Abstract:
It is always useful, when we read a text, to pay attention to its commentaries, ancient as well as modern. It is not always easy to grasp the interpretations that underlie most of these commentaries. Even ancient commentaries are somewhat tendentious and Tiberius Claudius Donatus’ commentary on the Aeneid (the Interpretationes Vergilianae) well demonstrates this fact, its basic thesis being that Virgil’s poem is rather a laudatory speech. Now Donatus’ interpretation can bring us a lot, because it invites us to pay more attention to details that we would not have read in a laudatory perspective or that we would not have examined at all. He is prone to weighing up every single word used by Virgil and the way he looks at the text can sharpen our own attention. His commentary on the eight book of the Aeneid counts many examples of this tendency, and besides, the attention Donatus pays to some major themes (sc. themes that he identifies as major in this book, as he does in others) is worthy of interest. Among these themes, poverty appears to be the most important. In fact, Donatus resists apparently to the valorization of humility – he himself denies that true poverty is addressed in the episode at Pallanteum – and rather preserves Aeneas’greatness.

AbstractSince their publication in 1950s and 1980s, respectively, the Commentaries on the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977 have become a major reference for the application and interpretation of these treaties. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), together with a team of renowned experts, is currently updating these Commentaries in order to document developments and provide up-to-date interpretations. The work on the first updated Commentary, the Commentary on the First Geneva Convention relating to the protection of the wounded and sick in the armed forces, has already been finalized. This article provides an overview of the methodology and process of the update and summarizes the main evolutions in the interpretation of the treaty norms reflected in the updated Commentary.

Full text
Abstract:
Denna uppsats söker besvara frågan ”Hur tolkas Jesu mor i nutida bibelkommentarer till Johannesevangeliet, utifrån de exegetiska forskningsfälten historicitet, litterärkritik och teologi?”. Syftet är att bidra till ett kritiskt och reflekterande samtal kring den exegetiska bibelkommentaren som genre, och i synnerhet bidra till en ökad förståelse av hur nutida exegetiska bibelkommentarer behandlar en teologiskt omstridd biblisk gestalt. Uppsatsen utgår från en teoretisk utgångspunkt som innebär att exegetik inte kan bedrivas opåverkad av exegetens egna föreställningar, varför skillnader mellan olika tolkningar är att förvänta. Uppsatsen har en kvalitativ, hermeneutisk metodansats. Det metodologiska tillvägagångssättet är att med hjälp av problemformuleringen och arbetsfrågorna analysera och diskutera hur Jesu moders historiska, litterära och teologiska roll i bibeltexterna Joh 2:1-11 och 19:25-27 tolkas i nio utvalda exegetiska kommentarer till Johannesevangeliet.I kapitel 1 introduceras teori, metod, avgränsningar, begrepp, angränsande forskning, material och disposition. I kapitel 2 presenteras de grekiska texterna till de aktuella perikoperna 2:1-11 och 19:25-27, som ett stöd för läsaren. I kapitel 3 analyseras de nio bibelkommentarerna i tur och ordning enligt arbetsfrågorna. I kapitel 4 sätts bibelkommentarernas respektive tolkningar i relation till varandra; och en diskussion kring likheter, skillnader och mönster förs. I samma kapitel presenteras en sammanfattande diskussion, uppsatsens slutsatser och förslag till framtida forskning.Uppsatsens slutsatser är (1) att Jesu mor som historisk gestalt är indirekt föremål för diskussion, genom en mer övergripande diskussion om Johannesevangeliet som ögonvittnesskildring eller ej, (2) att Jesu mor i allmänhet framstår som en rund, statisk (se 1.3 Teori och metod för en förklaring av dessa begrepp) karaktär i de analyserade kommentarerna, och (3) att Jesu mor av de flesta anses som en viktig teologisk gestalt, framförallt som en del i en uppfattad johanneisk teologi om en familj av troende som instiftas av Jesus; en ståndpunkt som dock väcker debatt och möter motstånd

Abstract:
Thesis (MTh (Old and New Testament))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.
The aim of this thesis is to explore the trends that are found in commentaries on the book of Exodus and their appropriateness in the African context. The study also seeks to move from a socio-political understanding of Exodus as liberation theology to the cultural understanding of Exodus as African theology. The following three trends are found in modern commentaries on Exodus as explored by this thesis: • Historical-critical approach – dealing with the world behind the text or author centred criticism. Commentaries found under this group include those of M Noth (1962), TE Fretheim (1990), N Sarna (1991), B S Childs (1977) and WHC Propp (1999). • Literary-critical approach – this deals with the text itself or it is text centred. Commentaries found in this category include: W Brueggemann (1994), J G Janzen (1997) and C Houtman (1993). • Theological-critical approach – deals with the world in front of the text. Commentaries of GV Pixley (1987), J Durham (1987) and G Ashby (1998) are good examples of the latter named approach. Exploration into the study of the above listed three trends and their corresponding modern commentaries show that the commentaries are not fully appropriate in the context of Africa (except Ashby). This is so because the above modern commentaries have not directly addressed the ongoing issues of poverty, political, economic, oppression, marginalization, HIV / AIDS, cultural and social issues, famine, racial and sex discrimination, religious crises, and other epidemics and natural disasters prominently found in Africa - particularly among the third world countries. The modern commentaries mentioned above are indirectly relevant for Africa since the topics which they address, resonate with the readers and interpreters of Exodus in Africa. This resonance is possible if readers and interpreters of Exodus in Africa find similarities between modern commentaries and their own current context. The study also shows that the three trends found in modern commentaries on Exodus are dependent on one another to bring forth a meaningful interpretation. Based on this working relationship between the three trends mentioned above, it is suggested that the three trends should be considered in close connection with one another. Biblical interpretation in Africa must do justice to the literary, historical and theological aspects of the Bible to be meaningful and appropriate in Africa.

Abstract:
Given the importance of Paul for Dante's characterization of the pilgrim, and his invocation of the Pauline Epistles throughout the Commedia, this thesis began by asking how important Paul was to Dante's fourteenth-century readers. It examines the use of the Pauline Epistles by the Trecento commentators of Dante's Commedia in order to contribute to our understanding of how both were read in late medieval Italy. Part One examines reading practices in the Middle Ages, and introduces commentary writing as a genre. The fourteenth century commentators are then described, with a focus on personal circumstances that may have influenced their interpretations. Part Two examines the use of Paul in the commentaries, differentiating between different forms of citation, such as when the commentators used Paul because they identified Pauline references or allusions in the poem, or when they included Paul in their interpretations for other reasons. This produced close readings of selected commentaries which reveal how the commentators read Paul and understood Dante. Jacopo della Lana used Paul when copying Aquinas, and his knowledge of the Epistles themselves, it is argued, was often confused and inaccurate. Pietro Alighieri repeatedly used Paul in combination with other sources in order implicitly to link canti. Guido da Pisa viewed the Commedia as a prophetic dream vision, and equated Dante with Biblical figures, including Paul. This comparison allowed Guido to justify his use of Dante as a life model for his dedicatee. The commentators acknowledge the importance of Paul when Dante clearly alludes to the Epistles, but in general, they simply use Paul as an authoritative voice. Finally, this thesis demonstrates their understanding of Dante not just as narrator/character, but also as reader.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter One contains a lengthy discussion of tafsír, outlining its meaning, its need to the present study and the different forms in which it exists, whilst at the same time clarifying its obscurities and commending it as an indispensable science. Chapter Two offers a concise overview of five Qur'ánic commentators selected for this particular study. This assessment is based on the eras from which they emerged which has a definite bearing on their commentaries. Chapter Three is a résumé of my subject's biography adopted primarily from Qur'ánic sources. As a frequently mentioned prophet in the Qur'án the story of Músá [p.b.u.h] is drawn from various chapters highlighting substantial aspects of his life. Chapter Four concentrates on two frequently mentioned events in the life of prophet Músá [ p.b.u.h], namely, his call to prophethood and the proclamation to the pharaoh and his people. Chapter Five concludes this work by presenting an overview of the perspectives of the different commentators.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the history of the idea that the shapes, names, and sounds of the ṭeʿamim convey information about biblical narratives, including twists and turns in the plot, the thoughts and motivations of the characters, and the way direct speech was delivered. This exegetical technique is examined first by enquiring into its relationship with the midrashic method of deriving such information from the graphic features of the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible. Turning to the approach of Tobias ben Eliezer, Joseph ibn Caspi, and Baḥya ben Asher, attention is focused on interpretations of unusual and irregular cantillation marks, including the shalshelet, according to the principles of derash. Finally, examples from the commentaries of Moses Alsheikh of Safed are examined to show how sixteenth-century Sephardi interpreters treated the Masoretic system of accentuation more broadly as a source of information concerning biblical narratives.

Abstract:
This chapter explores modern shifts in commentaries on Q. 4:128 against the historical backdrop of premodern interpretations. An overlooked verse, Q. 4:128 recognizes the behavior of husbands as the source of marital turbulence, a parallel to Q. 4:34, which has received far more attention in contemporary literature on gender in the Qurʾan. This chapter compares the interpretations of three twentieth-century exegetes—a Reformist-Salafi, an Islamist, and a neo-traditionalist—with those of six premodern commentaries spanning the ninth to fourteenth centuries. It finds that the neo-traditionalist Muḥammad al-Ṭāhir ibn ʿĀshūr offers the most striking exception to premodern commentators’ disparate interpretations of male and female nushūz and mutual settlement. By grounding his interpretation in established hermeneutics of law, rationality, and philology, Ibn ʿĀshūr depicts the methods of the classical tradition as capable of accommodating change. His original analysis of Q. 4:128 challenges common assumptions of a correlation between new meanings and methodologies in exegesis.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the pronounced variations in the expression of biblical monotheism found in commentaries written in the Roman Near East during the fourth and fifth centuries. In particular, it looks at a number of biblical commentaries composed in four different languages and four different scripts; all offer interpretations of the account of the Creation in the first chapter of Genesis, accompanied by a remarkably free Jewish translation (Targum) into Aramaic of part of the same chapter. Five texts are analysed: the Jewish commentary, Midrash; its translation into Jewish Aramaic, Targum Neofiti; Ephrem's Commentary on Genesis; and the commentaries by Eusebius of Emesa and Jerome. These examples show the overwhelming importance of the Bible as a source of meaning, its currency in several different languages within the Near East, and the different traditions and methods of interpretation applied to it.

Abstract:
The project of Qurʾanic interpretation does not take place in a vacuum. The three influential modern Sunni commentaries reflect a broader engagement with contemporaneous debates on women in Islam in early to mid-twentieth-century Tunisia and Egypt. This chapter argues that the modern need to demonstrate Islam’s fair treatment of women emerges as a response to the epistemological crisis induced by Western modernity. The fixation of the Western colonial gaze on Muslim women at the turn of the twentieth century pressed indigenous scholars and intellectuals to respond to the colonial critique. The chapter clearly captures the unique historical encounters and considerations that frame their exegetical works. The three Qurʾanic commentaries evince a heightened gender consciousness that is absent from the interpretations of premodern exegetes. This discursive shift in Qurʾanic commentaries is particular to the modern period and the byproduct of distinct historical encounters with colonialism, modernization, and nationalism.

Abstract:
The Bhagavad-Gita is Gandhi’s guide to daily living. Scholars and Hindu followers of the Gita have found Gandhi’s readings and commentaries of karma-yoga and especially of a nonviolent Gita surprising, inadequate, and a hermeneutical disaster. What distinguishes Gandhi’s interpretation of karma-yoga is his emphasis on the karmic world of relative truth. What is really remarkable is Gandhi’s interpretation of the central message of the Gita as a gospel of ahimsa. How can Gandhi justify such a seemingly bizarre claim? I examine usual interpretations of this claim that one must not take the Gita literally, but must instead read and interpret it as highly symbolic, mythic, allegorical text. More significantly, I attempt to analyze Gandhi’s approach and dramatic nonviolent interpretations by regarding the Gita as a dynamic open-ended text that is always contextualized and involves a key, creative, insightful hermeneutical move of greatest relevance today.

Abstract:
Many governments adopt the mantra of ‘evidence informed policy’ and use ‘evidence’ to justify political decisions. Active citizenship requires an understanding of appropriate and inappropriate uses of statistics about society. A number of groups are dedicated to checking the claims made by politicians, and produce commentaries based on careful analyses of data sources and interpretations. Here, we use the commentaries of one such group (Full Fact) as a source of insight into some misleading statements made by politicians. These lead directly to heuristics that can be employed when faced with evidence claims. Further, the examples provide a basis for a framework for conceptualizing ‘statistical literacy’ in a data rich world.

Abstract:
Interactions among drivers of neighbouring vehicles, aiming to communicate intent and agree on a safe motion plan, are a crucial component of driving activity. Empirical evidence from on-road, video-assisted observations and analysis of parallel commentaries by twenty-two experienced drivers show that the performance of older drivers (mean age 72.8 years) as regards interactions relevant to lane changes was similar to that of younger drivers (mean age 36.3 years). No difference was found in trip duration, number of lane changes, frequency and type of cues signifying intent to change lane and frequency of perceiving such cues. This may be an indication that the interpretation of traffic events, once acquired, does not loose in significance with age. Still, older drivers reacted less often after a cue signifying lane change intent although there was no difference in the perception of cues. Older drivers may adopt a more defensive driving strategy so that they do not need to adjust their driving, having found ways to compensate for their possible performance deterioration due to age.
