International Conference : « La Syrie omeyyade : un contexte pour le Coran ? » (2-4 june 2021)
À la jonction des études coraniques et de l’histoire, ce colloque entend interroger l’évolution et la place du texte coranique aux débuts de l’Islam dans un contexte spatial et temporel déterminé : la région centrale de la Syrie-Palestine (Bilād al-Shām) sous la dynastie califale omeyyade (661-750). Le but est de favoriser les échanges entre des spécialistes de l’espace syrien à l’époque omeyyade (historiens, littéraires, papyrologues, archéologues) et des spécialistes du texte coranique (islamologues, philologues, codicologues) pour faire le point et avancer de nouvelles pistes sur le Coran dans la Syrie omeyyade.
