I have a question about italics. I have found that in some scanned books
I get to validate the words in the printed version that were in italics
have been un-italicized by the time they get to me for validation. This
next book I'm validating has a lot of words in italics. For example:
The term bayyina (decisive proof) which, as used for a miracle, we
discussed in Chapter IV, is also used in the Qur'an to mean the
Revelatory Spirit
This book is about Islam and so has a lot of words, like in the sentence
above, that aren't in English. Is it Booksharian policy to leave or
remove italics? I guess I'm asking how Daisy and Braillers handle
italics?
Thanks,
Devorah
I'm looking forward to validating this classic book in the field of
Islamic studies: MAJOR THEMES OF THE QUR'AN
