Bausani Il Corano.pdf ((free)) Jun 2026

Unlike Christian translators who tried to force the Quran into a logical, linear narrative (like the Gospels), Bausani argued that the non-linear, repetitive, and apodictic nature of the Quran is its essence. He let the text feel "foreign" and "disorienting" to the Italian reader, because that is precisely the effect the Quran has on a classical Arabic listener.
