| Zusammenfassung: | "Centering on the pioneering work of Christoph Luxenberg, this anthology of scholarly yet accessible studies of the Koran makes a convincing case that Islam's holy book borrowed heavily from Christian texts in Syriac and other Near Eastern sources. In this important compilation, Ibn Warraq focuses on the pioneering work in Syriac and Arabic linguistics of Christoph Luxenberg, a native speaker of Arabic who lives in the West and writes under a pseudonym. Luxenberg's careful studies of the Koran are significant for many reasons. First, he has clarified numerous obscurities in the Koran by treating the confusing passages as poor translations into Arabic of original Syriac texts. He demonstrates that when one translates the difficult Arabic words back into Syriac, the meaning becomes clear. Beyond textual clarity, Luxenberg's scholarship provides ample evidence that the Koran developed from a Judeo-Christian background, since Syriac (a dialect of Aramaic) was the main language of both Jews and Christians in the Middle East before the advent of Islam. Ibn Warraq supplies English translations of key articles by Luxenberg that originally appeared in German and have never before been available to an English readership. This is followed by commentary by other scholars on Luxenberg's work. Also included are articles by earlier specialists who anticipated the later insights of Luxenberg, and more recent scholarship inspired by his methodology. Erudite but accessible, this groundbreaking collection is must reading for anyone with an interest in the origins of the Koran and the early history of Islam".. |

THIS
IMPORTANT COMPILATION,
IBN
WARRAQ
FOCUSES
ON THE
PIONEERING
WORK
IN SYRIAC AND
ARABIC
LINGUISTICS OF CHRISTOPH LUXENBERG, A
SCHOLAR FLUENT IN ARABIC, BOTH IN ITS CLASSICAL
AND DIALECTICAL FORMS, AND SYRIAC. HE MAN-
AGES
TO ELUCIDATE OBSCURE
PASSAGES
RECOGNIZED
AS SUCH BY SCHOLARS, BUT ALSO TO UNCOVER
NUMEROUS HITHERTO UNSUSPECTED MISTRAN-
SCRIPTIONS,
MISREADINGS, AND MISINTERPRETED
CONTENTS OF THE KORAN BY RETRANSLATING THEM
BACK INTO SYRIAC, THEREBY DEMONSTRATING
THAT EVEN
IF
THE KORAN IS NOT A DIRECT TRANS-
LATION
OF SYRIAC TEXTS AT
LEAST
THE REDACTORS
OF
THE KORAN WERE ARAMAEAN NATIVE
SPEAK-
ERS OF
A
SYRO-ARAMAEAN CULTURAL BACKGROUND.
BEYOND
TEXTUAL
CLARITY,
LUXENBERG'S SCHOLAR-
SHIP PROVIDES AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT THE KORAN
DEVELOPED
FROM
A JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND,
SINCE SYRIAC (A DIALECT OF
ARAMAIC)
WAS THE
MAIN
LITERARY LANGUAGE OF BOTH
JEWS
AND
CHRISTIANS IN THE
MIDDLE
EAST
BEFORE THE
ADVENT
OF
ISLAM.
IBN
WARRAQ SUPPLIES ENGLISH TRANS-
LATIONS
OF KEY ARTICLES BY LUXENBERG THAT
ORIGINALLY
APPEARED
IN GERMAN AND
HAVE
NEVER BEFORE
BEEN
AVAILABLE TO AN ENGLISH
READERSHIP. IN ADDITION, HE OFFERS EXTENSIVE
COMMENTARY AND ELABORATION ON LUXENBERGS
WORK
BY NOTED SCHOLARS SUCH AS SIDNEY
GRIFFITH,
ROBERT M. KERR, AND MUNTHER
YOUNES.
ALSO
INCLUDED ARE ARTICLES BY EARLIER
SPECIALISTS WHO ANTICIPATED THE LATER INSIGHTS
OF
LUXENBERG,
AND MORE RECENT SCHOLARSHIP
INSPIRED
BY HIS METHODOLOGY.
ERUDITE
BUT ACCESSIBLE, THIS GROUND-
BREAKING
COLLECTION IS MUST READING FOR
ANYONE
WITH
AN INTEREST IN THE ORIGINS
OF
THE
KORAN
AND THE EARLY HISTORY OF
ISLAM.

Luxenberg's careful studies of the Koran are significant for many reasons. First, he has clarified numerous obscurities in the Koran by treating the confusing passages as poor translations into Arabic of original Syriac texts. He demonstrates that when one translates the difficult Arabic words back into Syriac, the meaning becomes clear. Beyond textual clarity, Luxenberg's scholarship provides ample evidence that the Koran developed from a Judeo-Christian background, since Syriac (a dialect of Aramaic) was the main language of both Jews and Christians in the Middle East before the advent of Islam. Ibn Warraq supplies English translations of key articles by Luxenberg that originally appeared in German and have never before been available to an English readership. This is followed by commentary by other scholars on Luxenberg's work. Also included are articles by earlier specialists who anticipated the later insights of Luxenberg, and more recent scholarship inspired by his methodology. Erudite but accessible, this groundbreaking collection is must reading for anyone with an interest in the origins of the Koran and the early history of Islam"..</subfield></datafield><datafield

| spelling | Christmas in the Koran Luxenberg, Syriac, and the Near Eastern and Judeo-Christian background of Islam ed. by Ibn Warraq Amherst, NY Prometheus Books 2014 805 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index "Centering on the pioneering work of Christoph Luxenberg, this anthology of scholarly yet accessible studies of the Koran makes a convincing case that Islam's holy book borrowed heavily from Christian texts in Syriac and other Near Eastern sources. In this important compilation, Ibn Warraq focuses on the pioneering work in Syriac and Arabic linguistics of Christoph Luxenberg, a native speaker of Arabic who lives in the West and writes under a pseudonym. Luxenberg's careful studies of the Koran are significant for many reasons. First, he has clarified numerous obscurities in the Koran by treating the confusing passages as poor translations into Arabic of original Syriac texts. He demonstrates that when one translates the difficult Arabic words back into Syriac, the meaning becomes clear. Beyond textual clarity, Luxenberg's scholarship provides ample evidence that the Koran developed from a Judeo-Christian background, since Syriac (a dialect of Aramaic) was the main language of both Jews and Christians in the Middle East before the advent of Islam. Ibn Warraq supplies English translations of key articles by Luxenberg that originally appeared in German and have never before been available to an English readership. This is followed by commentary by other scholars on Luxenberg's work. Also included are articles by earlier specialists who anticipated the later insights of Luxenberg, and more recent scholarship inspired by his methodology.
