5 allée Jacques Berque, 44021 Nantes Cedex 1
Simone Veil Amphitheatre
Organized by ERC project “The European Qur’an” (https://euqu.eu).
Theme:
How have Christian authors in Europe used and appropriated the Qur’an? We are interested in how the Qur’an was used as a historical and linguistic archive, as a mine of heretical ideas and as a tool used in confessional rivalries. Our focus will not be restricted to the main confessional camps, Roman Catholic and Protestant, but will also include the many ways in which groups of the so called radical Reformation (Socianians and other anti-Trinitarian movements), different groups inside the Roman Catholic world, as well as Deist, Muslim and Jewish authors in Europe, used the Qur’an in their polemical writings. We will also study how translations of the Qur’an were deployed as argumentative weapons for preaching the superiority of Christianity to Mudejars and Moriscos in Spain. Additionally, the question of nationalist motivations in the collecting and translating of the Qur’an will also be taken into consideration: beginning in the late 17th century, various European countries vied with one another to produce the best translation of the Qur’an made directly from the Arabic. We will further investigate if and how polemical and historical uses of the Qur’an changed in the late 17th and 18th century and early 19th century. The Qur’an continues to play an important role in polemical writings, in political as well as religious domains.
Format:

'Master of the Oriental Tongues': A Syrian Christian in Eighteenth-Century Germany
2022-06-08 16:15 - 18:00
‘Master of the Oriental Tongues’: A Syrian Christian in Eighteenth-Century Germany
Public Lecture by Dr Simon Mills (Newcastle University)
8 June 2022, 16.15 CET
Room 6B-0-22 – University of Copenhagen
For online participation register here: https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5AkdOqprzIoH9QbapLelqwvSez35WUXA1Dz
This lecture is dedicated to the life and legacy of Shukrallah al-Dadikhi (c.1694–1734), an Arabic-speaking Christian from Aleppo. In his early teens he left Syria to study in Paris with the Jesuits, then commenced a journey which would take him from Rome to Geneva, through Germany to Halle, and back across Europe to London, where he died without seeing again the land of his birth. Reconstructing his travels and career will illuminate the ‘Catholic and Protestant Orients’, two interconnected worlds of Jesuit schoolmasters, Syriac studies at the Vatican, German bibliophiles with a passion for the Qur’an, and the Reformed missionary societies of Pietist Prussia and Protestant England. Yet at the centre of the story is Dadikhi himself – a man whose secret eluded both his contemporaries, and a series of twentieth-century scholars.

Journée d'études : "Transmission des savoirs et des imaginaires entre le Nord de l’Afrique et l’Europe (XIXe-XXIe siècle)"
2022-06-03
Vendredi 3 juin 2022
Cité des Congrès de Nantes
Dans le cadre des Journées scientifiques 2022, organisées par Nantes Université, Alain MESSAOUDI, Maître de conférences HDR en histoire contemporaine au CRHIA, vous invite à la journée d’études sur le thème :
Transmission des savoirs et des imaginaires entre le Nord de l’Afrique et l’Europe
(XIXe-XXIe siècle)
Événement organisé sur inscription en présentiel.
Cette journée propose d’étudier les modalités de transmission des savoirs et des imaginaires entre le Nord de l’Afrique et l’Europe, à travers des cas plus précisément centrés sur les circulations entre l’Algérie et la Tunisie d’une part, la France d’autre part. En s’appuyant sur une mise en perspective historique des échanges depuis le XIXe siècle, cette journée doit contribuer à développer une réflexion sur leurs transformations et les conséquences du tournant des décolonisations.

International Workshop - The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Eastern Christianity
2022-05-11 - 2022-05-12
The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites was the name commonly used by Eastern Christians of various traditions to refer to the Qur’an. Since the emergence of Islam in Late Antiquity, Eastern Christians speaking Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Church Slavonic, Russian and Syriac came in contact with Islam and its Holy Scripture. From the Mediterranean lands to Russia via the Balkans, Anatolia and Caucasus, the experience of Eastern Christians with their Muslim neighbors and/or rulers was shaped by diverse multicultural and multiconfessional contexts in which their approach to the Qur’an played a significant role in defining religious identity and the dynamics of communal life.

This international workshop will explore how Eastern Christians engaged with the Qur’an and its Islamic interpretations from the medieval period until the end of the eighteenth century. Bringing together different religious traditions, one of the main scopes of the workshop is to build a platform of discussion between scholars working with source material from Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Georgian, Greek, Church Slavonic, Russian and Syriac contexts, with a focus on how these milieus shaped Eastern Christian responses to Islam and its Holy Scripture.

How did texts on Islam and Qur’an circulate within groups and networks? How did they cross confessional boundaries? Who were their authors and intended audiences? These and similar questions will guide the discussions, and will generate – we hope – new debates for the entangled history and cross-cultural history of the Eastern Christian communities from the medieval to the dawn of modernity.

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

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.

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 Turkish Wars and the Study of Islam in Early Modern Europe
2021-12-06 14:00 - 16:00
A Series of Panel Discussions
Organized by Paul Babinski, Asaph Ben-Tov, and Jan Loop
Mondays from 15 November to 6 December; 14.00-16.00 CET
Sign up: https://teol.ku.dk/afd/the-european-quran/conference-2021/
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.

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).

À l’occasion des 30 ans de la Fête de la Science, du 1er au 11 octobre, le projet ERC EuQu avec l’aide de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme Ange Guépin propose 2 actions :
Sur son stand au Village des Sciences, la MSH mettra en avant des productions audiovisuelles réalisées par l’équipe EuQu (Univ. Nantes, CRHIA). À travers différentes vidéos, EuQu abordera la thématique de l’émotion de la découverte. Ces vidéos sont proposées en partenariat avec le Laboratoire d’Innovation Pédagogique sur l’Europe (LIPE) :
Vidéo « Le paradis de tous les imprévus – Les lecteurs médiévaux face à la description coranique de l’au-delà » : cette vidéo aborde la thématique de l’émotion de la découverte sous la perspective de recherche du projet EuQu, avec un focus sur la réception du Coran dans le Moyen Âge chrétien. La finalité de cette vidéo est de guider le spectateur dans une problématique liée à la découverte du Coran dans l’Europe médiévale : une découverte qui ne manque pas de susciter de la surprise et de produire des réactions imprévues qui – à leur tour – surprennent le chercheur et le lecteur contemporain.
Vidéo « Les émotions de l’historien.ne » : diffusion d’une série de 5 interviews vidéo, à la rencontre de chercheurs du CRHIA. Dans ces vidéos, les historiens partagent les émotions qu’ils ont pu ressentir lors de leurs premières découvertes et/ou face à leur plus importante découverte en tant qu’historien.ne.
Projection « Le paradis de tous les imprévus : les lecteurs médiévaux face à la description coranique de l’au-delà »
Village des Sciences, Halle 6 Ouest, Nantes | Vendredi 8 octobre | sur inscription (scolaires)
Destinée à des classes de lycéens, cette projection aborde la thématique de l’émotion de la découverte sous la perspective de recherche du projet EuQu, avec un focus sur la réception du Coran dans le Moyen Âge chrétien. La finalité de la vidéo présentée est de guider le spectateur dans une problématique liée à la découverte du Coran dans l’Europe médiévale : une découverte qui ne manque pas de susciter de la surprise et de produire des réactions imprévues qui – à leur tour – surprennent le chercheur et le lecteur contemporain.
Après la projection, les élèves pourront échanger avec les membres de l’équipe du projet de recherche EuQu présents.
