The Koran in the diplomatic practice of the Chancellery of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
Journal Title: Журнал Белорусского государственного университета. История - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In the papers, the author proves that a copy of the Koran appeared in the Chancellery of the the Grand Duchy of Lithuania not later than the beginning of the XVI century. He performed significant ritual functions in concluding peace treaties with the Crimean Khanate and holding of the oath by the Tatar ambassadors. Similar procedures existed in the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The author draws a conclusion the surviving sources fix a copy of the Koran at the Vilnia Chancellery of the Grand Duke of Lithuania 60 years earlier than at the court of the Moscow sovereign. It can be argued that this specimen is directlyrelated to the Koranic translation tradition of Eastern Europe of the XVI–XVII centuries.
