Marcus Milwright (British Academy Global Professor, University of York)

This talk considers the two architectural compositions that form part of the cache of Qur\u02bfan fragments from the Congregational Mosque of San\u02bf\u0101\u02be. Clearly drawing on Late Antique visual conventions, these extraordinary manuscript paintings have commonly been interpreted as representations of different aspects of hypostyle mosques. Some scholars have identified links between the compositions and specific structure of the early eighth century, while also allowing for the possibility that they represent idealized places of worship. An examination of Late Antique visual and material culture reveals, however, that the San\u02bf\u0101\u02be paintings have a more tangential relationship with early Islamic monuments. This assertion provides the starting point for an examination of early Islamic conventions for the depiction of the built environment. The final part of the talk suggests ways in which these manuscript paintings were intended to communicate the ideological concerns of the Umayyad caliphate.

Drawing on literary history and personal experiences German writer and Arabist Stefan Weidner illuminates some of the more striking examples of the Qur\u02be\u0101n's colonial and postcolonial perceptions in both East and West. These examples range from its comparison to the Upanishads in Mughal India to its transformation into an anti-modern manifesto in 20th-century German poetry. Since the advent of printing, the Qur\u02be\u0101n has assumed multiple identities, and the results of this transformation are both exhilarating and dangerous. Understanding the diverse interpretations that the Qur\u02be\u0101n has acquired in contemporary, postmodern, and non-Muslim contexts is crucial. Without this awareness, explaining its significance in late antiquity, obtaining broader recognition for its original meaning and influence, and effectively communicating the findings from research into early Qur\u02be\u0101nic manuscripts will prove challenging.\r\n\r\nStefan Weidner is a German writer, translator, and literary critic.

\"The Talmud in Christian and Muslim Culture\u201c
Malachi H. HaCohen (Duke University, Durham NC, currently University of Leipzig)

Room 07W04, Staatsbibliothek, Unter den Linden 8, Akademiefl\u00fcgel; time: May 12th 2023, 14:00-15:30
The Jewish biblical heritage is mediated via the Talmud, the major work of Rabbinic Judaism. The Talmud deliberates over Jewish law and grounds it in biblical interpretation. Whereas the struggle over biblical interpretation shaped Christian\u2013Jewish relations for two millennia, the Talmud remains relatively unfamiliar. Christian culture has been traditionally hostile to the Talmud, and Muslims have traditionally shown no interest in it. Work done in the Corpus Coranicum suggests, however, that talmudic discourses found their way into Qur\u2019anic literature. Today\u2019s seminar represents a collaboration of Hacohen and Hartwig, begun under the auspices of INIRE (International Network for Interreeligiois Research and Education).  Hacohen has written on \u201cThe Talmud in Non-Jewish Eyes,\u201d projecting the current popularity of the Talmud in diverse global cultures against a millennium of hostility and dismissal. His history highlights Christian reception. Hartwig has done extensive intertextual work, demonstrating exchanges between rabbinic and Qur\u2019anic literature. Their joint presentation portrays historical Abrahamic dialogues and creates a more complete history of the Talmud's reception in non-Jewish cultures.

Irina Synkova\/Michael Tarelko (Minsk): \"Europe's unknown Qur\u02be\u0101n: Manuscripts from Belarusian Tatars\u201d
Ethnic Tatars from Crimea and the Volga region have been settled in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (present-day Belarus, Lithuania, Poland) since the late 14th century. Over time, \"Lithuanian Tatars\" became an accepted group within the multi-ethnic and multi-confessional society of the Grand Duchy where Tatars were practising their religion and scholarship. (Freedom of religion is granted in the Constitution, \u201cStatut\u201d, of the Grand Duchy 1583.) Gradually, knowledge of their language (Turkic) decreased and, by the 17th century, their religious books were written in a Slavic language (close to Belarusian) using Arabic letters. Manuscripts of Belarusian Tatars include manuscripts of the Qur\u02be\u0101n and translations of the Qur\u02be\u0101n into Turkish, Polish and Belarusian. The oldest preserved Qur\u02be\u0101n manuscripts and exegetical works (tafs\u012br) are dated to the 17th century. A small Muslim minority continues to live in Belarus, Lithuania, and Poland and their literary heritage contributes to the documentation of the history of the Qur\u02be\u0101n in Europe.<\/p>

Orhan Elmaz (St Andrews), \u201cEvaluating variant readings of the Qur\u02be\u0101n through corpus linguistics: the verb \u02bearsala<\/i>\u201d
In his exegesis of Q 51:33, Ibn \u02bfA\u1e6diyya (d. 541 AH \/ 1147 CE) remarked that \u02bearsala \u02bfal\u0101 <\/i>and \u02bearsala il\u0101 <\/i>occur in similar contexts, however, with less resolve (\u02bea\u1e2baff<\/i>) in the latter case. He also pointed out that in Q 17:68-69, Ibn Ka\u1e6f\u012br and Ab\u016b \u02bfAmr read the present tense verb twice with a different dotting, i.e. relating to a different subject. This paper will analyse the 130 instances of the verb arsala in the Qur\u02be\u0101n in dependence of the verb\u2019s subject, its tense, mood, voice, and polarity. One can observe that instances of arsala \u02bfal\u0101<\/i> occur in the context of exemplifying divine chastisement and power \u2013 except for Q 6:6, 11:52 and 77:11 (as-sam\u0101\u02bea <\/i>\u2026 midr\u0101ran <\/i>\u2018abundant rain from the sky\u2019). It will be demonstrated that the differences go back to discourse, which is not only marked by prepositions but also by the tense of the verb \u02bearsala <\/i>and its subject and object. Based on this paper, the historical readings can be refuted as not conforming to the Qur\u02be\u0101nic discourse around stories of threat and punishment.

Once the 1924 Cairo edition had made all earlier printed versions of the Arabic Quran obsolete, Hinckelmann\u2019s version (Hamburg: Schultze and Schiller, 1694) became an antiquarian footnote in the history of the book printed in Arabic script.\u00a0 The dominant narrative about the history of Quranic studies in Christian Europe presents as pure serendipity that a middle-aged Lutheran pastor in Hamburg managed to publish the second complete version of the Arabic text, thereby relegating, rather unfairly, the Latin-Arabic Quran with commentary (2 vols., Padua: Seminary of the Diocese, 1698) of the very experienced Italian Arabist Ludovico Marracci OMD (1612\u20131700) to the third place.\u00a0 Hinckelmann\u00a0 beating Marracci in this imaginary race is usually treated as a historical oddity since Marracci's Arabic text is nowadays widely regarded as the superior philological achievement.\u00a0 In the last decade, Roberto Tottoli has initiated fresh engagement with Marracci\u2019s version and its impact on Arabic and Islamic studies in the eighteenth century (Roberto Tottoli, \u201cNew Light on the Translation of the Qur'an of \r\nLudovico Marracci,\u201d in Books and Written Culture of the Islamic World, \r\nLeiden, 2015, pp. 91\u2013130.).\u00a0 At the same time, Achim Rohde has discussed Hinckelmann's preface to his Arabic Quran as a historical document that illustrates how Arabic studies, which at the beginning of the seventeenth century were still pursued within the theological context of Biblical Hebrew, emerged in the eighteenth century as an independent discipline (Achim Rohde 2018, \u201cEin Hamburger Koran\"<\/a>). Taking into consideration the flourishing of research about transcultural encounters between Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the early modern Republic of Letters, I will explore why Hinckelmann and his Arabic Quran have attracted so little attention.\u00a0 The presentation will conclude with a discussion of Achim Rohde's challenge to intellectual historians of early modern Europe. In his 2013 survey of 400 years of Semitic studies in Hamburg, from 1613 to the present, Achim Rohde wondered whether a more nuanced understanding of how Hebrew and Arabic studies were practiced and taught in the past can yield new questions which will advance Arabic and Islamic studies in the future.<\/div>

Today it is common to refer to Surahs of the Qur\u02be\u0101n by giving their number. Scholars like as-Suy\u016b\u1e6d\u012b (1445-1505) or Ibn an-Nad\u012bm (died in 995 or 998) mention different Surah names of which we do not know when they became established. Surah headings in early Qur\u02be\u0101nic manuscripts (7th and 8th century) give evidence of names used by the scribes. Names in manuscripts overlap to a large degree with names in the tradition, but do not overlap completely. Names of the Surah mentioned in Lamiya Kandil\u2019s study (\u201cDie Surennamen in der offiziellen Kairiner Koranausgabe\u201d, Der Islam 69, 1992, pp. 44\u201360) do not take into account evidence on parchment whereas a recent study by Esra G\u00f6zeler (\"Vatikan K\u00fct\u00fcphanesi\u2019ndeki Kur\u2019\u00e2n Elyazmalar\u0131 \u00dczerine Bi\u00e7im ve \u0130\u00e7erik A\u00e7\u0131s\u0131ndan Bir Ara\u015ft\u0131rma\".

Onur (Ankara) will present his observations about different names of Surah 96, attested in early manuscripts and in the exegetical tradition.

This contribution aims to reconsider some early Qur\u2019anic parchment scrolls once stored in Damascus Qubbat al-khazna and currently preserved in Istanbul \u2013 at the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts. Their peculiar book form never received a convincing explanation. However, the production of Greek-Byzantine liturgical scrolls in Damascus up to the 4th\/10th century offers a meaningful precedent that sheds light on the provenance and the origin of these scrolls.

Dr. Helen Spurling (Southampton): \u201cPirqe Mashiah<\/i>: Jewish apocalypticism at the emergence of Islam\u201d\r\n<\/p>

Pirqe Mashia\u1e25<\/i> is an apocalyptic midrash from Palestine from the seventh or eighth centuries, and part of the so-called revival of Jewish apocalyptic literature in Late Antiquity when political events, including the Persian, Byzantine and Arab conquests, were regarded as a sign of the messianic era and the coming age. Pirqe Mashia\u1e25<\/i> is a compilation of eschatological teachings that is supplemented with historical allusions to demonstrate that the major political changes under Arab rule from the seventh century onwards are a sign of the apocalyptic end of time. There are many references to \u2018the other\u2019 in Pirqe Mashia\u1e25<\/i> as manifested in descriptions of the wicked Edom, Sammael the prince of Rome and even references to the minim. The representation of Arabs and the role of Christian Byzantium, are key features of the compilation. The portrayal of the \u201cother\u201d in Pirqe Mashia\u1e25<\/i> raises important questions about the development of Jewish apocalyptic beliefs both in terms of the traditions that it preserves, but also how these motifs and concepts are developed in light of the contemporary political situation from the seventh century onwards and what this suggests about relations with the \u2018other\u2019 at this formative period.\r\n\r\n<\/p>

Helen Spurling is Associate Professor of History at the University of Southampton, Director of the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish\/non-Jewish Relations and President-Elect of the British Association for Jewish Studies. Her research focuses on intercultural relations in Late Antiquity in the Eastern Mediterranean, biblical exegesis and apocalypticism. She published The Book of Genesis in Late Antiquity: Encounters between Jewish and Christian exegesis<\/i>, and is currently working on the development of Jewish apocalypticism at the emergence of Islam.<\/p>"},{"title":"Collegium Coranicum 23","start":"2019-08-27 11:00:00","end":"2019-08-27 13:00:00","location":"Potsdam, Am Neuen Markt 8, Raum 29","description":"

Emily Cottrell (Den Haag\/Paris): \"Remarks on a sample of non-Qur\u02be\u0101nic Kufic manuscripts\"<\/p>

Recent discoveries in the datation of Qur\u02be\u0101nic manuscripts and parallel research on the evolution of the Arabic alphabet have opened new perspectives for the study of a sample of non-Quranic Kufic manuscripts which have been known for a long time but never analyzed. Samples of the two main stages of Kufic witnessed in the manuscripts: square Kufic and semi-Kufic will be shown and these will be confronted to early Arabic inscriptions and the influence of either Nabatean or Syriac will be questioned. The geography of the Kufic scribes will be addressed through samples taken from four manuscripts (2 in square Kufic and 2 in semi-Kufic) preserved in Berlin, London, Oxford and Tehran.

<\/p>

Die Verk\u00fcndigung\r\n des Korans f\u00e4llt in eine geopolitisch turbulente Zeit. Nach 600\r\n verlor Byzanz einen gro\u00dfen Teil seines Territoriums an die\r\n S\u0101s\u0101niden. 614 eroberten die Perser Jerusalem und raubten die\r\n Kreuzreliquie. Dem byzantinischen Kaiser Heraklios gelang es die\r\n S\u0101s\u0101niden zur\u00fcckzudr\u00e4ngen und die Kreuzreliquie 628\r\n wiederzuerlangen. Die persisch-byzantinischen Kriege haben im\r\n j\u00fcdischen und christlichen Schrifttum deutliche Spuren\r\n hinterlassen: Weissagungen \u00fcber den zerst\u00f6rten Jerusalemer Tempel\r\n dienten dabei als Referenz, das weltpolitische Geschehen zu\r\n erkl\u00e4ren und kommende Entwicklungen vorherzusagen. Viele\r\n Menschen erwarteten offenbar den Wiederaufbau des Jerusalemer\r\n Tempels und den Untergang von Byzanz. Auch im Koran ist ein Echo\r\n dieser Krisenzeit erkennbar. In der Veranstaltung wird Zishan\r\n Ghaffar (BBAW) einen \u00dcberblick \u00fcber die laufenden Debatten zur\r\n Frage apokalyptischer und  <\/span>eschatologischer\r\n Weltanschauungen im Koran geben und aufzeigen, wie sich diese in\r\n der Verk\u00fcndigung Mu\u1e25ammads niederschlagen. Dabei soll versucht\r\n werden, Antworten auf die Fragen zu finden, welche Rolle\r\n Jerusalem f\u00fcr die erste muslimische Gemeinde spielte und wie\r\n die weltpolitischen Ereignisse der Zeit im Koran dargestellt und\r\n bewertet werden.
