The Compendium of Seminary Texts
Twelve parallel English-Arabic teaching texts
by Muhammad Emin Er, translated and edited by Marwan M. Tayyan and Justin Poe
Authored by the late luminary Shaykh Muhammad Emin Er (c. 1914-2013), this is a series of twelve intermediate-level primers representing the prerequisites for scholarly literacy in the curriculum of the Ottoman seminary. These texts teach the fundamentals of language and thought, preparing students not only to move on to the advanced Islamic tradition, equipped to read religious and general texts closely, to understand complex ideas and arguments, and to truly strive for knowledge. Translated into clear, idiomatic English and presented in a parallel bilingual format, the text is accompanied by explanatory notes and a comprehensive glossary containing translations and definitions of over 700 technical terms. This volume is intended as an expansive resource for the study of the traditional seminary sciences by English-speaking students, teachers, and researchers alike.
