A New Book From Late Classical Period Project
Kashf al-Asrār wa-hatk al-Astār
Yūsuf b. Hilāl al-Safedī’s (d. 696/1296)
ed. Bahattin Dartma
This work is a tafsir of the Holy Quran, published for the first time within the scope of Late Classical Period Project, written by VII. (XIII) century doctor, literary man and mufassir and jurist Ebu Barakāt Yūsuf b. Hilāl as-Safedī (d. 696/1296). The work is remarkable from the point that it had been written by an author whose real profession was medicine, who knew old holy book languages Syriac and Hebrew and emphasises the significance of reasoning and opposition of taqlīd. TDV Publications is responsible for the publication and distribution of the work within Turkey while Irshad Publications in Beirut is responsible for the publication and distribution abroad.
Carrying some the features of the classical dirayah tafsirs, Kashf al-asrār is distinguished by analysing the inheritance ayats thoroughly. Because of Safedī’s tendencies and occupation, his work has some unique traits in similar works. Kashf al-asrār has a distinct place among other works by accepting the aql and naql two basic evidence in interpreting the ayats, claiming Torah and Bible are corrupted at the same time quoting from them, commenting around some unique acceptances of the author about naskh, mutashabih ayats, Hurūf al-Muqathaah and Quranic Sciences.
It has been published by Irshad Publications in Beirut simultaneously as its publication in Istanbul.
