Overview

No major work in Italian was published during the 17th century in the field of Early Islamic Studies.

In 1698 Ludovico Marracci, a catholic priest and professor of Arabic at the University La Sapienza of Rome, published a new Latin translation of the Qu'ran from the original Arabic text, which largely improved on the previous translations.
