Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an

Drawing upon a rich scholarly heritage, Brill's Encyclopaedia of the Qur'ān (EQ) combines alphabetically-arranged articles about the contents of the Qur'ān. It is an encyclopaedic dictionary of qur'ānic terms, concepts, personalities, place names, cultural history and exegesis extended with essays on the most important themes and subjects within qur'ānic studies. With nearly 1000 entries in 5 volumes, the EQ is the first comprehensive, multi-volume reference work on the Qur'ān to appear in a Western language.

Cross-referencing and indices

This final volume of the EQ contains indices of transliterated terms, of qur'ānic references and of the authors and exegetes cited in the entries and essays.

Fully international work

The EQ is a fully international work supported by an international board of advisors. Scholars from many nations have written articles for the encyclopaedia.
