My Work is a Great Contribution to Quranic Studies: Author

IBNA: Speaking with IBNA on the sidelines of the 31st Book of the Year Award of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Morteza Kariminia said his work is the result of 15 years of continuous research on identification of Quranic resources in European languages like English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch with some of the references dating back to over 500 years ago. 
The bibliography of Quranic references in European languages has reviewed all the works that have been written in Europe about the holy book of Quran, he added. To complete his work, Kariminia had to travel to various European countries to access Quranic references in their libraries. He also corresponded with many other libraries to receive copies of the books or get a review of them. The index section of the book is one of the most powerful features of the work which makes it possible for Iranian and foreign researchers to get detailed information about the resources they are studying so that they are better able to continue their research projects, he added. 
For instance, by referring to the index section, researchers may learn which topics have been well addressed by papers and articles so far and which topics are not considered well and have been actually neglected. He went on to add that the book serves as a primary reference for every novice researcher of Quranic topics who are interested in getting hang of the subject for their further studies. 
He has adopted a novel methodology for completion of his work which is new both in Iran and the world and would be used by Iranian and foreign researchers for future studies on Quranic topics. This is the first time that such a thorough work has been put together for researchers to understand what research projects have been conducted or carried out in the world and Iran about the holy Quran, he added. 

The Bibliography of Quranic studies in European Languages has been published by Tarjoman Vahy publication Center in Iran.
