Summary/Abstract: This text has been written on the occasion of five hundredth anniversary of passing away of a great alim, mujtehid, muhadith, lawyer, sufi, philologist and poly-historic Jallaluddin Es-Suyuti (d. 1505.). After the short biography of Es-Suyuti, the text examines methodologies, contents, sources and importance of Es-Suyuti's work Al-Itqan fi‘ulumi'l-Qur'an (The Perfection of Qur'anic sciences), the basic work in the area of tafsir terminology, in the context of tafsir sciences. We nave presented and translated almost as a whole Es-Suyuti's introduction to Al-Itqan, from which the concrete themes can be best noticed, as well as Es-Suyuti's motives which moved him to write such an excellent work, as well as his opinion about the authorities and the works which had been written before. In the end we have come to the conclusion that in the work Al-Itqan fi ‘ulumi'l-Qur'an, the terminology of tafsir science is summarised in the best possible way, without which one can not approach the serious research of Qur’an and its entire universality.
