Due to the long presence of Muslims in Islamic territories
(Al-Andalus and Granada) and of Muslims minorities in the
Christians parts, the Iberian Peninsula provides a fertile soil for
the study of the Qur'an and Qur'an translations made by both
Muslims and Christians. From the mid-twelfth century to at least
the end of the seventeenth, the efforts undertaken by Christian
scholars and churchmen, by converts, by Muslims (both Mudejars and
Moriscos) to transmit, interpret and translate the Holy Book are of
the utmost importance for the understanding of Islam in Europe.
This book reflects on a context where Arabic books and Arabic
speakers who were familiar with the Qur'an and its exegesis
coexisted with Christian scholars. The latter not only intended to
convert Muslims, and polemize with them but also to adquire solid
knowledge about them and about Islam. Qur'ans were seized during
battle, bought, copied, translated, transmitted, recited, and
studied. The different features and uses of the Qur'an on Iberian
soil, its circulation as well as the lives and works of those who
wrote about it and the responses of their audiences, are the object
of this book.
