Course Description
The Koran and many illustrated manuscripts of Islamic literature from Persia, Iraq, Turkey and India abound with stories familiar to Jews and Christians. These include Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah’s ark, Abraham and Isaac, Joseph, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, David and Goliath as well as the birth of Jesus among many others.

It will also examine shifts in content and significance and the uses to which these stories and their illustrations are put.Loading...
