Overview
Charting the history of Qurāanic translations in Europe during the 18th and early 19th Centuries, Elmarsafy shows that a number of key enlightenment figures ā including Voltaire, Rousseau, Goethe, and Napoleon ā drew both inspiration and ideas from the Qurāan. Controversially placing Islam at the heart of the European Enlightenment, this lucid and well argued work is a valuable window into the interaction of East and West during this pivotal epoch in human history.
