Corpus Coranicum

Corpus Coranicum (2007–2024) was a digital research project of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

The project made sources accessible that are relevant for the history of the Quran. These primary texts include Jewish, Christian, and other textual remains from the world of Quran. To trace its oral and written transmission further, early manuscripts of the Quran were catalogued and made available through the project’s database. A literary commentary on the Quranic text completes the project.

Begun in 2007, the initial three-year database project was headed by two project leaders: Senior Professor of Arabic Studies Angelika Neuwirth (Freie Universität Berlin) was responsible for the commentary. The research centre was managed by Michael Marx, who is editor-in-chief of the "environmental texts" and the text documentation.

Since 2025, M. Marx has continued the adaptation, maintenance and digital publication of the databases under the roof of Corpus Coranicum e.V.
