Contemporary Greek Scholarship and Islam

Drawn from her doctoral thesis defended at the University of Strasbourg in 2002, this book by Angeliki Ziaka (Presses universitaires du Septentrion, 2004) analyses how contemporary Greek scholarship has approached Islam.

It sheds light on the Byzantine and post-Byzantine legacy of the Greek view of the Muslim world, between polemics and scholarly knowledge.

Issu de la thèse de doctorat soutenue à l’Université de Strasbourg en 2002, cet ouvrage de Angeliki Ziaka (Presses universitaires du Septentrion, 2004) analyse la manière dont la recherche grecque contemporaine a abordé l’islam.

Il éclaire l’héritage byzantin et post-byzantin du regard grec sur le monde musulman, entre polémique et connaissance savante.

هذا الكتاب لـأنجليكي زياكا (منشورات Septentrion الجامعية، 2004)، المنبثق عن أطروحة الدكتوراه التي نوقشت في جامعة ستراسبورغ عام 2002، يحلّل كيفية مقاربة البحث اليوناني المعاصر للإسلام.

ويضيء الإرث البيزنطي وما بعد البيزنطي في النظرة اليونانية إلى العالم الإسلامي، بين الجدل والمعرفة العلمية.
