NO Arias Torres, Juan Pablo. "Sicut Euangelia sunt quatuor, distribuerunt continentiam eius in quatuor libros: On the Division of Iberian Qur’ans and Their Translations into Four Parts". The Latin Qur’an, 1143–1500: Translation, Transition, Interpretation, edited by Cándida Ferrero Hernández and John Tolan, Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2021, pp. 425-454.
NO In the prologue to his trilingual Qur’an (Arabic-Castilian-Latin), Juande Segovia pointed out that among the defects of Robert of Ketton’s Latin translationwas the fact that it did not adopt the division of the text into four books that,in his words, the Muslims used in their holy book “in imitation of the Gospels.”Thereafter, despite the weakness of his reasoning, this four-part structure forthe Qur’an was widely accepted in European Christian intellectual circles, andit would be reflected in the writings they produced, whether translations or anti-Islamic polemics. That said, this division that we observe in Quranic manuscriptsfrom the Iberian Peninsula, including the complete translation of the Qur’an inthe famous T 235 manuscript, derives exclusively from the Islamic tradition andthe Quranic sciences. This tradition of dividing the Qur’an into four parts also presentssome distinctive features that have not yet been sufficiently explained. Thegoal of this chapter is to show that this particular way of organizing the Qur’ancan be explained by looking at the work of Andalusi scholars such as al-Dānī(fifth/eleventh century), as well as to show how it spread and was faithfully transmittedby the different Islamic communities in Spain, from one generation to thenext, up to the end of the seventeenth century.
