    Al-suhrawardī on mirror vision and suspended images.Nicolai Sinai - 2015 - Arabic Sciences and Philosophy 25 (2):279-297.
    RésuméL'idée d'un “monde des images” situé quelque part entre les mondes immatériel et matériel est un pivot de la spéculation eschatologique dans l'Islam médiéval tardif. Comme cela a déjà été reconnu, le concept a été inauguré par al-Suhrawardī. Cependant, ses fondements plus proprement philosophiques et en particulier la notion d'images “suspendues” – des images dotées d'un statut en quelque manière objectif plutôt que purement mental ou subjectif – méritent d’être davantage clarifiés; et c'est ce que cet article entend faire. Puisque (...)

    Beyond the Cairo Edition: On the Study of Early Quranic Codices.Nicolai Sinai - 2022 - Journal of the American Oriental Society 140 (1):189.
    This essay reviews two recent volumes containing editions of important early quranic codices. One of these is the so-called Sanaa Palimpsest, whose lower text at present remains our only known material witness to a recension of the quranic text that is different from the canonical one; the other is the Codex Amrensis. The essay devotes particular attention to the question of the textual relationship between the Quran’s standard text and that documented by the lower layer of the Sanaa Palimpsest, and (...)

    „Weihnachten im Koran“ oder „Nacht der Bestimmung“? Eine Interpretation von Sure 97.Nicolai Sinai - 2012 - Der Islam: Journal of the History and Culture of the Middle East 88 (1):11-32.
    This article proposes to interpret Surah 97 based on research undertaken in the framework of the Corpus Coranicum project. The first part scrutinizes Christopn Luxenberg’s seriously flawed argument that Surah 97 can be understood as a Qur’anic hymn on the Nativity of Jesus if some of its key expressions are read against the semantic background of Syriac, while the remainder of the article endeavours to develop a more tenable understanding of the text. This involves an attempt to date Surah 97 (...)
