Koran Printing in the West, 1537-1857
This remarkable collection of Early Western Korans demonstrates the impact of the holy book of Islam in Europe. Long before printing with movable type became common practice in the Islamic world in the early nineteenth century, Korans had been printed in Arabic type in several European cities. Korans and Koran translations were produced in the West for theological, commercial, political, and philological purposes. The collection includes Korans and Koran translations in eight languages, printed between 1537 and 1857. They have been brought together from seven European libraries. The collection is of interest to book historians, theologians, philologists, and scholars of Islamic Studies alike. The collection is available for outright purchase both electronically or as micro-fiche. Additionally, access to the Early Western Printed Korans is included with a subscription to the Encyclopaedia of the Qur'ān via brillonline.com For more information please contact sales-nl@brill.com or cs@brillusa.com for the Americas.
