Davide Scotto (University of Pavia) will present his forthcoming article: Davide Scotto, “From the textus receptus to the ‘Abrahamic’ interpretation of the Qur’an. Louis Massignon’s working method,” Annali di Scienze Religiose, 17, 2024 [forthcoming].
The Practices of Commentary reading group brings humanities researchers of different backgrounds together to discuss matters of common interest. The group meets once a month in a hybrid mode (i.e., both in person and online). Every session is led by a graduate student or researcher who introduces in 5 to 10 minutes an article, a book chapter (or chapters), or a book on a selected theme. A discussion then follows, open to all participants. Every session is one hour long. If you have any questions or would like to propose a reading, researchers from all universities are warmly invited to contact the group coordinator, Oliver Salem o.salem[a]mail.utoronto.ca
This semester, the Practices of Commentary reading group will centre on the theme of Orality and Written Textuality, as well as the interactions between both.
