TL;DR: This paper examined the references to these verses, both explicit and via phrases alluding to the ordinance, in the book of Jubilees, using fixed terms and idioms depicting the observance/violation of the law across various literary units.
Abstract: Leviticus 19:17-18 has long been noted as possessing a significant role within the book of Jubilees. This paper examines the references to these verses, both explicit and via phrases alluding to the ordinance. Two specific aspects of the law are alluded to in Jubilees: “You shall not hate your kinsfolk in your heart” (Lev 19:17a) and “Love your fellow as yourself” (Lev 19:18b). The author of Jubilees understands the first as relating to peaceful coexistence, the second to malicious intent, specifically the intent to murder. This exegesis is consistent throughout Jubilees, as attested by the usage of fixed terms and idioms depicting the observance/violation of the law across various literary units.

TL;DR: The Venerable Bede (672/673/735) composed fourteen homilies based upon pericopes from the gospel of Luke as well as a complete verse-by-verse exegesis of this same book.
Abstract: The Venerable Bede (672/673–735) composed fourteen homilies based upon pericopes from the gospel of Luke as well as a complete verse-by-verse exegesis of this same book. Examination of the vocabulary, syntax and structure of these homilies and exegesis shows portions to be strikingly similar, one having been derived from the other. Analysis of how related passages from one work have been altered to fit the other reveals much about the purposes and intended audiences of each.

TL;DR: In this paper, the complementary principles of qiyaa and taqdīr are distinguished by reference to the incidence in each of what I have called the complementary principle of taqda.
Abstract: As a normative discipline Qur'anic exegesis shares both principles and terminology with the other Islamic sciences, and as such is not likely to have been articulated before the third/ninth century. Prominent in the fully elaborated system, as for example exhibited in the work of al-Zamakhshari (d. 538/1143), are the complementary principles of qiyās and taqdīr. While the former is commonly understood to represent the hermeneutical instrument called analogy, a typological description of qiyās will distinguish between applications of the principle which depend upon a textual similarity, and those which are derived from a rational or causal relation. Of the first type it may be said that there are as many kinds of analogy as there are means of establishing external (grammatical and lexical) affinity between different scriptural contexts. Underlying the second type of analogy is a unifying principle (ratio) independent of textual similarities, both explicit and implicit. In theory, if not always in practice, one may differentiate the two types of qiyās by reference to the incidence in each of what I have called the complementary principle of taqdīr. This term, of which the most common rendering ‘supplementation’ (Ergänzung), alluding to only one aspect of the procedure in question, is not quite satisfactory, signifies reconstruction or restoration (Wiederherstellung: restitutio in integrum), namely, of a scriptural context or passage. Now, while the elaboration of grammatical qiyās by the so-called ‘Basran school’ was characterized by an almost unlimited application of that principle, two reservations must be made.
