Dear Colleagues, We would like to kindly remind you about the Call
for Papers for our forthcoming workshop ‘Preliminary Considerations on the Corpus Coranicum Christianum: The Quran in Translation – A Survey of the State-of-the-Art’, which will be held
at the Berlin Byzantine Studies of the Freie Universität Berlin (Germany) on 5th – 7th December, 2018. We also would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the special section for Digital Humanities (DH). It will deal with the
question of which DH-tools are currently available and how these can be utilized for a philological-based project, as the Corpus Coranicum Christianum:
We look forward to receiving your papers and request you to kindly spread word of this call! With kind regards, Manolis Ulbricht - - - Manolis Ulbricht Promovierter Byzantinist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Am Lehrstuhl der Berliner Byzantinistik und im Projekt „Die Poetik des Aristoteles“ (Einstein Stiftung Berlin)

Call for Papers for our workshop ‘Preliminary Considerations on the Corpus Coranicum Christianum. The Quran in Translation – A Survey of the State-of-the-Art’ at the
Freie Universität Berlin (Germany), December 5th – 7th, 2018. In this workshop, we aim to lay the groundwork for an interdisciplinary research project, which will focus on comparing the different translations of the Quran made within Christian cultural
backgrounds. The project will study the Quran and its reception from the Christian perspective by analyzing all Greek, Syriac, and Latin translations of the Quran from the 7th century CE until the Early Modern period. The keynote speech will be delivered by Professor Angelika Neuwirth, head of the project
Corpus Coranicum
(CC) at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The workshop aims to map out the different scholars and research traditions
dealing with varied translations of the Quran. In addition, it seeks to connect these experts and to facilitate the scientific exchange between the multitude of studies previously conducted in this field. Finally, the workshop will examine the possibilities
of using methods in the Digital Humanities for building an open-access database for systematically collecting and presenting the material for further research. The structure of the planned project will correspond with the languages that will be analyzed. The
Corpus Coranicum Christianum
(CCC) shall, in a first step, consist of the three subprojects: Corpus Coranicum Byzantinum (CCB),
Corpus Coranicum Syriacum (CCS), and
Corpus Coranicum Latinum (CCL). Papers for the workshop are welcome in one or more of the following four sections:
The workshop is focused on interdisciplinary research, which will, the organizers hope, encourage fruitful discussions about the state-of-the-art of the
field and highlight potential areas for future research cooperation. For this purpose,
we welcome abstracts of up to 300 words, to be submitted in English by May 31st, 2018 to:
corpus.coranicum.christianum@klassphil.fu-berlin.de.
Abstracts should include your name, affiliation, position, the title of the proposed paper, your specific source(s) you want to work on, and a brief
curriculum vitae. Please also indicate the preferred section (see above: CCB, CCS, CCL, DH). Notifications will be sent out in June 2018. Full papers should be submitted by 15th November, 2018.
Limited funding will be available for accommodation and/or travel. Proposed workshop languages: English, German, Spanish, and French. Papers will be published as edited volume. The project initiative
Corpus Coranicum Christianum is financed by the Presidency of the Freie Universität Berlin. For further information about the structure of the planned project and for a more detailed Call for Papers,
