He is examining how聽knowledge was聽produced and聽organized in聽the margins of聽manuscripts聽through a study of聽Shih膩b al-D墨n al-Khaf膩j墨鈥檚 17th C聽岣つ乻hiya聽on Bay岣嵞亀墨鈥檚聽popular聽Qur示膩n commentary,聽Anw膩r al-tanz墨l聽(Lights of Revelation).聽His PhD (University of Toronto, 2022) was about past and present anxieties over the loss of scholarly classics. He focused聽specifically on the聽Dal膩示il聽al-i士j膩z(Markers of Inimitability)聽of the 11th C聽士Abd al-Q膩hir al-Jurj膩n墨, the most influential classical book in the discipline of聽bal膩gha.聽His project traced the historical transmission and scholarly use of this allegedly lost work through paratextual evidence in its extant manuscript聽tradition.
