Recent years have seen significant growth in interdisciplinary research on the history of the Qur'an. In this book, an English translation of Le Coran Autrement: Le contexte syroaraméen (L’Harmattan Press, Paris: 2022), Pataq Siman utilises the immense body of liturgical texts used by the churches of the Syriac tradition, which can be dated with precision, and which generally appear between the third and eighth centuries and were thus in use at the time of the Qur’an’s composition. They are unusually rich doctrinally, poetically, and linguistically. Many Qur'anic texts gain in clarity when one identifies in them the echo of these Syriac writings.
