International Workshop: Qur’an and Bible (22-26 March 2021)
Originating in similar but not identical linguistic, geographical, cultural, and religious contexts, Qur’an and Bible stand in a complex relationship to each other. They share stylistic, narrative and cultic features, but also differ in fundamental ways. The Qur’an invokes the Bible and Biblical stories repeatedly and positions itself in a relationship of confirmation and fulfillment to the Judeo-Christian tradition, occasionally amending what it claims was distorted and manipulated by Christians and Jews.
International Conference : « La Syrie omeyyade : un contexte pour le Coran ? » (2-4 june 2021)
À la jonction des études coraniques et de l’histoire, ce colloque entend interroger l’évolution et la place du texte coranique aux débuts de l’Islam dans un contexte spatial et temporel déterminé : la région centrale de la Syrie-Palestine (Bilād al-Shām) sous la dynastie califale omeyyade (661-750). Le but est de favoriser les échanges entre des spécialistes de l’espace syrien à l’époque omeyyade (historiens, littéraires, papyrologues, archéologues) et des spécialistes du texte coranique (islamologues, philologues, codicologues) pour faire le point et avancer de nouvelles pistes sur le Coran dans la Syrie omeyyade.
