Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of the extract of a Moroccan endemic Narcissus: Narcissus broussonetii

The antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, of the extract of the Narcissus broussonetii bulbs were studied. The report concerning those properties of this Moroccan endemic species is described for the first time. Nine main alkaloids compounds were identified by GC and GC-MS such as tazettine, pretazettine, homolycorine, lycorine, ismine, 3-epimacronine and papiramine. The extracts of N. broussonetii up to 40 mg/100g b.wt, revealed a significant anti-inflammatory effect in mice and showed also a significant scavenging activity at 10 mg mL-1 . However, the extract showed a moderate antibacterial activity against all the microorganisms tested

Al-Ṭabarī and the Dynamics of tafsīr: Theological Dimensions of a Legacy.

The Jāmiʿ al-bayān ʿan taʾwīl ayy al-Qurʾān is fittingly recognised as representing an important milestone in the history of the discipline of tafsīr: within the work, al-Ṭabarī accomplished a uniquely comprehensive exegetical synthesis of literary, grammatical, legal and theological elements, bringing a broader sense of definition and purpose to the discipline of tafsīr. Among the characteristic features of the scholarship of al-Ṭabarī are the objectivity and consistency he brought to his work and such qualities resonate in his gauging of theological issues and topics. While it has been customary to view al-Ṭabarī’s theology as being strictly informed by a rigidly traditionalist methodology, a circumspect review of theological discussions in the tafsīr reveals not only the author’s accomplished marshalling of the attendant arguments and theses, but also the spirit of autonomy and resourcefulness with which he assesses points of doctrine and dogma. In this article an attempt is made to analyse aspects of the intertwined theological discourses of the tafsīr and related treatises, bridging them with materials articulated in the biographical sources. The aim is to explore the relationship between his approach to scholarship along with the standpoints to which he adhered and their impact upon attitudes towards his remarkable work and legacy.
