The European Qur’an. Islamic Scripture in European Culture and Religion 1150-1850 is a peer-reviewed book series with the EuQu project results. The volumes analyze the important role that the Qur’an has played in the formation of medieval and early modern European religious diversity and identity, deeply imbedded in the political and religious thought of Europe and part of the intellectual repertoire.
