[Attributed variously to the Companion Abdullah Ibn Abbas (d. 68/687) and to Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub al-Firuzabadi (d. 817/1414), Tanwîr al-Miqbâs is one of the most pivotal works for understanding the environment which influenced the development of Qur’anic exegesis. Despite its uncertain authorship and its reliance on the controversial Isrâ’îliyyat or Israelite stories, Tanwîr al-Miqbâs nevertheless offers readers valuable insight into the circulation and exchange of popular ideas between Islam, Judaism and Christianity during the formative phase of Islamic exegesis.]• Ibn Kathir

http://www.maktabah.org/quran/tafsir/542-tafsir-tabari--.html [downloadable pdf]• Tafsir al-Jalalayn
http://www.altafsir.com/Al-Jalalayn.asp
[Tafsir al-Jalalayn is one of the most significant tafsirs for the study of the Qur’an. Composed by the two “Jalals” -- Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli (d. 864 ah / 1459 ce) and his pupil Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 911 ah / 1505 ce), Tafsir al-Jalalayn is generally regarded as one of the most easily accessible works of Qur’anic exegesis because of its simple style and one volume length. For the first time ever Tafsir al-Jalalayn is competently translated into an unabridged highly accurate and readable annotated English translation by Dr. Feras Hamza.]• Yusuf Estes http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php

http://www.altafsir.com/WahidiAsbabAlnuzul.asp
['Ali¯ ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi, Asbab al-Nuzul 'Ali¯ ibn Ahmad al-Wa¯hidi¯ (d. 468/1075), the earliest scholar of the branch of the Qur'anic sciences known as Asba¯b al-Nuzu¯l (i.e. the contexts and occasions of the Revelation of the Qur'an). Al-Wa¯hidi¯ and subsequent scholars aimed to collect and systemize information concerning all the known reasons and contexts for the Revelation of particular Qur'anic verses. This translation by Mokrane Guezzou represents the first accurate and reliable English translation of this seminal work.]
