This edited volume aims to advance a Muslim-centered perspective on
the study of Islam in Europe. To do so, it brings together a range
of case studies that illustrate how European Muslims engaged with
their Sacred Scripture while being part of a Christian-dominated
social and political space. The research presented in this volume
seeks to analyse Muslims’ practices of translating, interpreting
and using the Qur’an as a sacred object and, thus, pursues three
main research agendas. Part I focuses on the issues of
Muslim-Christian relations in Europe and studies how these
relations have engendered discursive connections between Muslim-
and Christian-produced texts related to the study and
interpretation of the Qur’an. Part II aims to bring scholarly
attention to the under-represented cases of Muslim communities in
Europe. This part introduces new research on Polish-Belarusian,
Daghestani, Bosnian and Kazan Tatars and examines local traditions
of producing vernacular Qur’ans and commodification of Qur’anic
manuscripts. The final section of the volume, Part III, contributes
to filling in the gaps related to the theoretical and conceptual
framing of Muslim translation activities. The history of religious
thought and practice in European history is in many ways still
uncharted territory. This book aims to contribute to a better
understanding of the cultural history of the Qur’an and Muslim
agency in interpreting, transmitting and translating the Sacred
Scripture.
