The Iberian Qur’an
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.
European Muslims and the Qur’an
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 i...
The Qur’an in Rome
Despite its relevance to the subsequent development of Western Islamic studies, the intellectual contribution of early modern Catholicism is still an under-researched area. The aim of this volume is to fill this gap, offering a series of essays dealing with the study of the Qur’an and Arabic language in early modern Catholic Europe. Focusing on the circulation of manuscripts, translations and printed books, the essays highlight how Catholic Orientalism contributed to the birth and spread of Western Islamic studies, although sometimes it was still directed towards religious polemics. Among the protagonists of this period of Islamic studies, the volume will focus on Catholic priests, mission...
Selecciones coránicas de mudéjares y moriscos
Las selecciones coránicas son textos constituidos por fragmentos escogidos del Corán que circulan de manera independiente. Estas manifestaciones de la literatura devocional islámica, conocidas en diferentes sociedades musulmanas, constituyen uno de los modos de transmisión del texto sagrado del islam. El presente volumen trata sobre un tipo específico de selecciones coránicas que las minorías musulmanas hispánicas elaboraron entre mediados del siglo XV e inicios del XVII y al que un morisco denominó los tres ‘hizbes’ arábigos en 1609. Estas selecciones, antes interpretadas por algunos autores como ‘Corán abreviado’ o ‘Corán morisco’, esconden una rica variedad de estructuras formales que permite distinguir entre plegarias, destinadas al uso devocional, y compendios, que guardan, además, una estrecha vinculación con los contextos de enseñanza y aprendizaje del texto sagrado. Acompaña a esta monografía un catálogo exhaustivo de más de cincuenta testimonios de estas selecciones que circularon tanto en árabe como en romance y que conforman una muestra excepcional de la literatura islámica española.
Ecosystem Collapse and Recovery
Examines how ecosystems can collapse as a result of human activity, and the ecological processes underlying their subsequent recovery.
Adapted & (dis)Ability Sport
As a result of recent international policies and priorities becoming aligned to raise awareness of (dis)ability per se, the profile and presence of adapted & (dis)ability sport at all levels has risen significantly. This has resulted in greater public, private and media engagement with adapted & (dis)ability sport globally, with more opportunities now available for involvement in, viewing of and research exploring adapted & (dis)ability sport than ever before. With such increases in societal awareness, position, participation, and support, comes the need to centralize, promote and enhance the status and profile of high-quality research and knowledge exchange being generated by researchers across ALL academic disciplines to better our understanding of EVERY aspect of adapted & (dis)ability sport. Our Adapted & (dis)Ability Sport Research Topic aims to be THE location for ALL adapted & (dis)ability sport research and knowledge exchange being undertaken worldwide.
A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, Supplement
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.

Urban Atmospheric Aerosols
The challenges faced by the atmospheric research community today are vast, complex, and multi-faceted. The book Urban Atmospheric Aerosols: Sources, Analysis, and Effects highlights important aspects concerning the chemical and optical properties, size distribution, sources, and potential health effects of fine urban air particles (PM2.5). The physical and chemical characterization of PM2.5, its source assignment, and the assessment of the magnitude and distribution of its emissions are crucial for establishing effective fine air particle regulations and assessing the associated risks to human health. This book brings together eight papers covering the main topics of the field and will be of interest to researchers who are interested in air quality in outdoor and indoor environments, air particle toxicity, and atmospheric chemistry, as well as global climate modelers.
The Lead Books of the Sacromonte and the Parchment of the Torre Turpiana: Granada, 1588-1606
The Archive of the Sacromonte Abbey in Granada preserves a historical treasure: Arabic texts on a sheet of parchment and on numerous small tablets of lead, which were discovered in Granada at the end of the sixteenth century in the tower of the old Friday Mosque and in caves of the "Valparaíso" hillock, from then on called "Sacromonte". They became the object of heated discussions in Europe and were condemned by the Pope in 1682. The texts are among the very last literary productions of the Moriscos, the Andalusi Muslims, many of whom continued to practice Islam in secret until their expulsion from Spain between 1609 and 1614. With the permission of the archbishop of Granada, we offer, for the first time in history, a study, edition, translation, and images of all the tablets and shed new light on the fascinating religious messages of these enigmatic texts and their authors.
