The workshop aims to lay the groundwork for an interdisciplinary research project, which will focus on comparing the different translations of the Quran made within Christian cultural backgrounds. This project will study the Quran and its reception from the Christian perspective by analyzing all Greek, Syriac, and Latin translations of the Quran from the 7th century CE until the Early Modern period. The workshop will furthermore examine the possibilities of using methods in the Digital Humanities for building an open-access database for systematically collecting and presenting the material for further research.
