Arthur John Arberry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur John Arberry (1905–1969) was a respected scholar of Arabic, Persian, and Islamic studies. Formerly Head of the Department of Classics at Cairo University in Egypt, he was also the Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic at Cambridge University from 1947 until his death in 1969. Arberry's translation of the Qur'an is widely respected, one of the most prominent written by a non-Muslim scholar.

Arberry is also notable for introducing Rumi's works to the west through his selective translations - edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar, his interpretation of Muhammad Iqbal's writings similarly distinguished.
