Wansbrough in his challenging book, Quranic Studies, denying the reliability of documents in indicating the chronology of ancient texts, has suggested the text analysis instead. He has applied this method for the chronology of old text prior to Tabari exegesis, including that of kalbi. Accordingly he designates roughly the year 200 to it. Using the same method, Rippin reconsiders its chronology proposes the late third century. In this article these two orientalists' text analysis concerning this exegesis has been critically examined.
