Webinaire Prométhéd "Problèmes et méthodes de l’édition des textes médiévaux"
2021-04-01
Le webinaire Prométhéd “Problèmes et méthodes de l’édition des textes médiévaux” est organisé par Grégory Clesse, chargé de recherche FNRS à l’Université catholique de Louvain, et Florence Ninitte, chercheuse post-doctorante à l’Université de Nantes au sein de l’ERC Synergy Grant “The European Qur’an” (EuQu).
La finalité du webinaire est d’explorer plusieurs thématiques et problématiques soulevées par le travail d’édition critique, allant de l’édition de textes à la tradition complexe (que ce soit le fruit d’une tradition manuscrite abondante ou d’une multiplicité des rédactions), de traductions dont la source est perdue, en passant par l’édition de textes aux formes spécifiques et complexes (par exemple : traités d’astrologie, mathématiques, magiques, réceptaires).
Le webinaire s’adresse tant aux étudiants et doctorants qu’aux chercheurs confirmés, en offrant l’occasion de présenter de nouveaux outils de recherche et méthodologies, de soumettre à la communauté scientifique des questions épineuses ou irrésolues, et de partager l’avancée de ses travaux. Il se tiendra sur la plateforme Zoom, et chaque séance se déroulera entre 10h et 12h (CET).
Avec le soutien du FNRS, des ERC PhilAnd (ERC Advanced Grant – Grant Agreement No 740618) et EuQu (ERC Synergy Grant – Grant Agreement No 810141), et du Centre d’Études sur le Moyen Âge et la Renaissance (CEMR).

Although the first Latin translation of the Qur’ān dates to 1143, and its first vernacular (Italian) translation to 1547, the sacred book of Islam was known far before in Europe, where it elicited passionate and contrasting reactions, ranging from vehement attacks concerning its content or composition to an acknowledgement of the aesthetics of its stylistic features and the universal human quality of its message.
The aim of this two-day workshop will be to address the different perspectives from which the Qur’an was approached and to identify the various attitudes medieval Latin readers adopted towards it. The focus is therefore on the medieval readers of the Qur’ān that encompasses the wide range of translators, polemicists, and commentators who had access to the Qur’ān or parts of it, through the mechanisms of reading that they elaborated, the ideas and data drawn from these readings, and how these ideas sparked a plurality of responses.
In this perspective, we will question the following lines of research:

How was the Qur’ān named, defined, and represented?
How was the Qur’ān judged and evaluated?
How was the Qur’ān read and understood?
How was the Qur’ān used, transformed, and exploited?

EuQu Copenhagen Seminar of Work in Progress
2021-06-03 16:00 - 17:30
The next EuQu Seminar of Work in Progress will be held on Thursday, 3 June, at 16.00 (CET).
Reading the Arabic Qur’an in Early Modern Europe
By Dr Paul BABINSKI, University of Copenhagen & Dr Theodor Dunkelgrün, University of Cambridge.
Orientalists often claimed to have read the Qur’an in Arabic, but an analysis of the manuscripts and editions they annotated shows that what “reading” entailed varied considerably in practice, from superficial comparison with earlier translations to close examination of Qur’anic commentaries. This talk will explore how the orientalist study of the Arabic Qur’an transformed in the centuries before 1800 in a European context, from Istanbul to Leiden.

Seminar Work in Progress "The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Greek Christianity (9th–18th Centuries)"

The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Greek Christianity (9th–18th Centuries)
By Postdoc Octavian-Adrian Negoiță, University of Copenhagen
With respondents: prof. dr. Christian Høgel, University of Southern Denmark & dr. Manolis Ulbricht, Freie Universität Berlin
How did Greeks have access to the text of the Qur’an? What were the attitudes towards the Qur’an among the Christian Greek communities along the centuries? How was the Qur’an dealt with and imagined in Byzantium and beyond? These are few questions that will be tackled in this presentation, which seeks to explore the reception and refutation of the Holy Book of the Muslims in Greek sources from the ninth century to the dawn of modernity.

Workshop "The European Qur'an"
2021-06-21 - 2021-06-25
21 – 25 June, 2021
UIMP Summer Course
University Mendendez Pelayo of Santander, Spain
Program and registration
The objective of this seminar is to analyze the role that the Qur’an had in interactions with Islam in modern and medieval Europe, in debates between Christians of various persuasions and doctrines and in criticism of Christianity during the Enlightenment, among other areas of investigation. To what extent does the Qur’an constitute part of the intellectual repertoire of Medieval and Early Modern Europeans of different Christian denominations, of European Jews, freethinkers, atheists and, of course, European Muslims and how much is it embedded in the political and religious thought of Europe? During the sessions we will study how the Qur’an has been interpreted, adapted, used, and formed in Christian European contexts since the Middle Ages, in order to understand how the Holy Book has influenced both culture and religion in Europe.
Throughout the sessions, we will examine the translations of the Qur’an, texts of religious controversy and European collections of Arabic manuscripts. Moreover, the presentations will be complemented with round-table debates where the most representative case studies will be explained. Note that the course will be taught by a group of leading international specialists in the field.

Conference “The Morisco Diaspora and Morisco Networks across the Western and Eastern Mediterranean”
2021-09-16 - 2021-09-17
This conference aims to bring together scholars who work on the movements of Muslims from Spain to other parts of Europa and the MENA Region between the fall of Granada (1492) and the first half of the seventeenth century. These movements had different contexts and characteristics. Most of the movements were induced by repression of Islam, later the expulsion decree forced Moriscos out of the Peninsula. But there were also movements back to the Peninsula, especially between 1609 and 1640.
We aim to study these movements and the motives of individuals groups to participate in them. We will do so in a comparative perspective with other minority groups, such as the Sephardic Jews, but will also study the responses of the Christian majority and minority groups.
Organized by the EuQu project and IS-LI

Lecturas del Corán en Europa latina (siglos XII-XVI)
2021-10-27 18:00 - 19:30
Tercera conferencia del programa Aula Árabe Universitaria, a cargo del historiador John Tolan, de la Universidad de Nantes.
27 de octubre de 2021, 18:00 h
Auditorio Casa Árabe, Madrid
En castellano
Foto: Portada de L’Alcorano di Macometto de Giovanni Battista Castrodardo de Belluno, primera traducción impresa del Corán en una lengua europea (Venecia, 1547).
En 1143, Robert de Ketton produjo, a instancias del abad Peter de Cluny, la primera traducción al latín del Corán. Esta traducción, existente en 24 manuscritos, fue una de las principales formas en que los lectores europeos tuvieron acceso al libro sagrado musulmán. Muchos de sus lectores, como el propio Pedro de Cluny, leyeron el Corán para refutarlo, ya que para ellos fue la escritura fundacional de una herejía grave. Sin embargo, muchos leían el Corán por otras razones y su lectura no siempre fue hostil.
En 1543, cuatro siglos después de que Robert produjera la traducción, Theodor Bibliander la publicó en Basilea, junto con una colección de otros textos sobre el islam y un prefacio de Martin Luther. Para los escritores protestantes Bibliander y Luther, el Corán podría ser una herramienta útil en la lucha contra la Iglesia Católica, una herramienta para demostrar, como Luther dijo que “el diablo del Papa es más grande que el diablo de los turcos”. Los escritores católicos desarrollaron rápidamente contraargumentos, peinando el Corán para encontrar similitudes entre sus “herejías” y las arrojadas por Lutero o Calvino. El Corán latino, como veremos, ya forma parte del bagaje intelectual y cultural de Europa entre los siglos XII y XVI, y los intereses y usos que le aportaron sus lectores europeos fueron complejos y variados.
Casa Árabe organiza esta conferencia sobre “Lecturas del Corán en Europa latina (siglos XII-XVI)” a cargo de John Tolan, profesor de Historia a la Universidad de Nantes y miembro de la Reial Acadèmia de Ciències i Arts de Barcelona y de la Academia Europæa, en colaboración con el Grado de Historia y el Máster en “Mundo Ibérico Medieval: Hispania, al-Andalus y Sefarad” de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Presentará y moderará la sesión Santiago Palacios Ontalva, profesor de Historia Medieval de dicha universidad.
A lo largo de la misma, el profesor Tolan presentará también The European Qur’an”: The Latin Qur’an, 1143–1500: Translation, Transition, Interpretation (De Gruyter, 2021), libro colectivo que ha editado con Cándida Ferrero Hernández (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona) y que sale a la luz el próximo 25 de octubre, resultado del proyecto “EuQu: The European Qur’an”, que coordina con Mercedes García-Arenal (CSIC), Roberto Tottoli (University of Naples, L’Orientale) y Jan Loop (University of Kent).
John Tolan es profesor de historia a la Universidad de Nantes y miembro de la Academia Europæa. Es doctor en Historia por la Universidad de Chicago y posee también un Máster en Historia de dicha universidad y estudios de posgrado en el Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales de Paris (HDR), además de una licenciatura en Lenguas Clásicas por la Universidad de Yale. Ha recibido diversos premios y distinciones, entre los cuales se encuentran dos becas del Consejo Europea de Investigaciones (ECR, en sus siglas en inglés) y la Prix Diane Potier-Boès de la Academia Francesa. Es autor de diversos libros y artículos, entre ellos: Petrus Alfonsi and his Medieval Readers (1993), Los Sarracenos: el islam en el imaginario europeo en la Edad Media (2007), Sons of Ishmael: Muslims through European Eyes in the Middle Ages (2008), Saint Francis and the Sultan: The Curious History of a Christian-Muslim Encounter (2009) y Faces of Muhammad: Western Perceptions of the Prophet of Islam from the Middle Ages to Today (2019: la traduccion española de Rafael Peinado, Mahoma el Europeo: Percepciones occidentales del Profeta del Islam desde la Edad Media a nuestros días, se publicará en 2022 por las Publicaciones de la Universidad de Extremadura). Es uno de los cuatro coordinadores del proyecto de investigación del ERC “EuQu: The European Qur’an” (2019-2025).

This series of panel discussions examines the nexus between wars with the Ottoman Empire and the study of Islam and the Qur’an in early modern Europe. It sketches a broad historical trajectory from the fall of Constantinople into the eighteenth century, tracing how conflict informed popular views of Islam and impacted the material conditions and practices of orientalist scholarship, through looted orientalia (manuscripts, coins, textiles, metalwork) and prisoners who assisted orientalists as scribes and amanuenses. Each panel focuses on a particular stage of conflict, with papers exploring the interrelations between knowledge production and armed conflict from a variety of perspectives. Following these moments over time, we will consider how intensifying coordination between the agents of orientalist scholarship—those who procured, copied, collected, and interpreted the objects of orientalist interest – contributed to shifting views of Islam across Europe.

Workshop “European perspectives on the Qur’an (16th-18th C.): polemics and beyond”
2021-12-02 - 2021-12-03

Near Eastern Studies Lecture by Paul Babinski
2022-02-16 12:00 - 14:00
“From Compilation to Indexing: Tracing the Practice of Early Modern Orientalist Scholarship”
February 16,12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Paul Babinski (University of Copenhagen) : Post-Doc member of the ‘European Qur’an’ (EuQu) ERC Synergy Grant Project
Hosted by Sabine Schmidtke (School of Historical Studies, IAS).

How did orientalists read, learn languages, and produce dictionaries, editions, and other works? Annotated manuscripts in particular offer a glimpse into the orientalist’s study, showing the sources they used, their methods of deciphering texts and comparing manuscripts, and their collaboration with amanuenses. Annotations also afford us a view of development over time, charting practices of early modern orientalist scholarship through shifting patterns of note-taking. This talk will trace that history in the early modern period, giving an overview of the conventions of orientalist annotation and focusing on a comparison between manuscripts from the two premier Western European Arabists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, respectively: Jacob Golius and Johann Jacob Reiske. Both scholars’ libraries remain largely intact, and, viewed broadly, offer a perspective onto questions of scholarly specialization, the character of philological progress, and the changing social contexts of orientalist learning.

The Qur’an in Rome. Catholicism and the Study of Islam in Early Modern Era
2022-03-01 - 2022-03-02
1-2 March 2022
The objective of this conference will be to give an overview of the perspectives through which the Catholic world studied the Qur’an and Islam at the beginning of the modern era (16th-17th centuries). We will try to show how although Catholic authors inherited a series of well-established polemical tools (Collectio Toletana, Riccoldo da Montecroce, etc.) from the Middle Ages they were nonetheless able to renew their approach to the study of Islam, adapting it to the new historical context and inaugurating a scientific and philological study of texts.

Conference "Il Corano a Roma. Cattolicesimo e studio dell'Islam in epoca moderna"
2022-03-01 - 2022-03-02
The ERC Project “The European Qur’an” EuQu is pleased to announce the conference “Il Corano a Roma. Cattolicesimo e studio dell’Islam in epoca moderna”
organized by the Gregorian Centre for Interreligious Studies and the Università di Napoli L’Orientale :

Il Corano a Roma. Cattolicesimo e studio dell’Islam in epoca moderna

This event is the result of a collaborative idea between the Centre for Interreligious Studies of the Gregorian, the Pontifical Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies (Pisai) and the section of the University of Naples L’Orientale of the European project The European Qur’an (EuQu).
The aim will be to investigate how Catholicism has interpreted and studied the Qur’an and Islamic doctrines in modern times, particularly in the 17th century. At the centre of the debate will be the fundamental work of Ludovico Marracci, the writings of the Jesuits and other religious orders, as well as those documents that formed the basis of Catholic Orientalism which had the city of Rome as its centre.

1-2 March, 2022
From 09:30 To 18:00

Venue:
Pontificia Università Gregoriana
Piazza della Pilotta, 4
I-00187 Roma
