Dear Nascas,
I hope you are all well. I was wondering if anyone might have access to the French translations of Qustā ibn Lūqā’s Jawāb (‘Response’) to Al-burhān (‘The proof ’) of [ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā?] ibn al-Munajjim? It is found in :
Samir and Nwyia, Une correspondence islamo-chrétienne, pp. 592-
685 (edition by Samir on the basis of the Bibliothèque Orientale
MS; French trans. by Nwyia)
P. Nwyia, ‘Un dialogue islamo-chrétien au IXe siècle’, Axes. Recher-
ches pour un Dialogue entre Christianisme et Religions 9 (June-
July 1977) 7-22, pp. 13-19 (French trans.)
Arabic manuscripts would also be welcome if anyone has access:
MS Zahleh, Collection Maʿlūf – 1355 (18th century; inaccessible – cf.
J. Nasrallah, Catalogue des manuscrits du Liban, 4 vols, Beirut,
1958-70, iv, pp. 24-26)
MS Beirut, Bibliothèque Orientale – 664 (1876), pp. 233-36
MS Damascus, Greek Orthodox Patriarchate (not further speci-
fied, 18th-19th century; see Zilio-Grandi and Samir, Una corri-
spondenza, p. 42, n. 6)
Thank you so much!
