About the book:- Palmer was the first Arabist English translator who lived among the Arabs and was fully immersed in the spoken language. Palmer published his translation of the Quran in 1880 with an introduction on the history of the life of the Prophet. The translation appeared as part of the series “Sacred Books of the East”, published by Oxford University Press (imprint Clarendon Press in Oxford), which later republished the set as part of its sequel series “The World’s Classics.” With Palmer’s translation the image of the Quran witnessed a huge transformation. This volume contain sixteen chapters. The Quran is necessary to make oneself acquainted with the circumstances of the people in whose midst it was revealed, with political and religious aspects of the period and with the personal history of the prophet himself. About the Author:-Friedrich Max Müller (1823 –1900) was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic disciplines of Indian studies and religious studies ('science of religion', German: Religionswissenschaft). Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. Edward Henry Palmer (1840 –1882), known as E. H. Palmer, was an English orientalist and explorer. He was born in Green Street, Cambridge the son of a private schoolmaster. He was orphaned at an early age and brought up by an aunt. He was educated at The Perse School, and as a schoolboy showed the characteristic bent of his mind by picking up the Romani language and a great familiarity with the life of the Romani people. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, "Palmer's highest qualities appeared in his travels, especially in the heroic adventures of his last journeys. His brilliant scholarship is displayed rather in the works he wrote in Persian and other Eastern languages than in his English books, which were generally written under pressure.
