Besides providing a biographical sketch of Bint al-Shati', this thesis analyzes her intellectual growth and provides the necessary information about her works relating to Qur'anic studies. The study also surveys al-Khulli's method of Qur'anic exegesis and Bint al-Shati's attempts to apply it to her own works. Our analyis focuses on her works on Qur'anic studies such as al-tafsir al-bayani li al-quran al-karim, magal fi al-insan and al-i'jaz al-bayani li al-qur'an wa masa'il ibn al-azraq. The distinguishing features of her philological and thmeatic approach are discussed and the main results obtained by the practical application of this method are shown to bring refreshing insights into the meaning of the Qur'an.
