The Religious Other in Quranic Tafsīr
The volume entitled “The Religious Other in Qur’anic Tafsīr” addresses representations of religious otherness in the Qur’an and its commentaries (tafsīr). This issue is the result of the Idéo and OIB study days, and adopts an interdisciplinary approach combining theology, history, translation studies, philology, as well as art history. Contributions include innovative analyses of biblical figures, modern translations of the Qur’an, and perspectives on the theological foundations of interfaith relations. The book highlights the tensions between pluralism and the assertion of the superiority of Islam, while emphasising the contextual and comparative influences in Qur’anic exegesis.

Le Coran du Caire, 1924 : texte, histoires et perspectives
This issue commemorates the centenary of the Cairo edition of the Quran, produced in 1924 under the patronage of King Fuʾād of Egypt. Largely unnoticed at the very time of its publication, this Quranic edition has nonetheless established itself as a reference in Western Islamic studies. The anthology of articles it offers, categorized by “text”, “history”, and “perspectives”, is largely drawn from the contributions made at a conference on this topic held at the Dominican Institute of Oriental Studies in November 2021 and funded by the Delegation of the European Union to Cairo. It offers a multidisciplinary—and trilingual—reflection on the religious and political issues surrounding this Uthmani edition of the Quran, combining analyses of the historical context of its production, Egyptian printing, palaeography, and geopolitics of religion.
