History of Research (1800s) -- Notes
In 1807 Giovanni Bernardo De Rossi published the first comprehensive bibliographical catalog of Arabic works. Two fictional works also appeared: the only opera ever written on Muhammad by Peter von Winter (mus.) and Felice Romani (libr. after Voltaire) in 1817 and a poem by Russian poet Alexander S. Pushkin in 1824.
The modern study of the Qur'an began with Gustav Flügel (1802-1870) and Gustav Weil (1808-1889) in Germany. Flügel published the first modern edition of the Qur'an in 1834 (which was largely used before the Royal Cairo edition of 1923) and a concordance to its Arabic text in 1842 (although it is difficult to know which precise manuscripts he relied on). Weil published in 1844 a pioneering historical-critical introductions to the Quranic textus receptus.
As to Muhammad, the first modern studies were those published by Abraham Geiger (1810-1878) in 1833 and Gustav Weil in 1843. Geiger's essay on Muhammad's life and Weil's study on the Biblical legends known to the early Muslims (1845) were also the first works to explore a number of possible early Islamic borrowings from Judaism, whilst its apparent Christian influences.
