Bausani rejected the common practice of paraphrasing the Quran into elegant, flowing Italian prose. He argued that the Quran is not ordinary literature; it is recited text (Qur’an literally means "recitation"). Therefore, he attempted to preserve the saj' (rhymed prose) and the abrupt stylistic shifts (known as iltifāt ) that characterize the original Arabic. This makes a vital resource for linguists studying the syntax of divine speech in Italian.
