medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Quoting Jon Cannon <[log in to unmask]>:
>> Assuming it was a discussion of traces of Islamic culture in medieval
> Europe, the poster might like to know of a medieval English cleric who
> had a copy of the Qu'ran. He was Simon Bozoun, Prior at Norwich
> Cathedral Priory from 1344-52. The Moslem holy book is listed among the
> contents of his 31-volume private library - most of the others in the
> collection were, I assume, rather more traditional for a senior
> Benedictine in Northern Europe.
>
>--I could really use the reference for this piece of information. This again
underscores the importance of discussion lists. I have missed this piece of
information researching in the traditional method.
