First Latin, French and English translations of the Holy Qur’ān
Abstract
The Holy Qur'an has been translated by many scholars, both Muslim and
orientalist. Latin was the first western language into which the Holy
Qur'an was translated. In 1143, an Englisman, Robert of Ketton,
completed his Latin translation of the Muslim scripture which was
published in 1543 by Theodore Buchmann of Basel. Andre du Ryer
rendered the Holy Qur'an into French and published it in 1647. Alexander
Ross was the first to translate it into English. His translation, published in
1649, was based on du Ryer's French translation. This article introduces
the earliest renderings of the Holy Qur'an in three Western languagesLatin, French and English. These translations have been analysed and
some of the lacunae have been emphasized.
