Péter Pázmány’s views on Islam have been examined using a variety of approaches and on the basis of several of his works, especially A Mahomet vallása hamisságárul (‘On the Falsity of Mahomet’s Religion’), originally an appendix to the Tíz bizonyság (‘Ten Proofs’), which was later also incorporated into the Kalauz (‘Guide’). But his other
early polemical pieces, too, served as the basis of such analyses. In this paper, I wish to investigate what can be inferred concerning Pázmány’s view of Islam from the relevant references in his other work. To this end, I collected, classified, and analysed allusions and direct references to Islam, ‘Mahometism,’ Muhammad, and the ‘Turk’ scattered throughout the Kalauz. I seek to find out how Pázmány’s work links the ‘Turkish question’ to anti-Protestant polemics. My analysis concentrates especially on one of the key polemical debates in early modern Europe, namely that of ‘turning Turk.’ In this context, I wish to demonstrate how Pázmány’s work tied into the wider European current of thought at the time.

9th-century Arabic Christian Apology by Varsányi Orsolya

Studies either relate them to the concept of ḥērūṯā in Syriac tradition or the context of Christian-Muslim controversy. I demonstrate that in ‘Ammār’s discussion, on a terminological-lexical level, engagement with Islamic thought is less evident while Syriac influences and Patristic and Greek philosophical parallels can be identified. I reconstruct the meanings of his terms through a close reading of extensive passages and group the occurrences lexically-thematically into the following units: 1. freedom (ḥurriyya, derivations from ḥ-r-r, related or synonymous expressions); 2. capacity, choice (istiṭā‘a, iḫtiyār); 3. acquisition, deserving, necessitating (iktisāb, istiḥqāq, istīğāb); 4. intentions, moral responsibility.

Through extracts taken from the works of the Chalcedonian (‘Melkite’) Theodore Abū Qurra, the Syrian-Orthodox (‘Jacobite’) Ḥabīb ibn Ḫidma Abū Rāʾiṭa , and the East Syrian (‘Nestorian’) ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī, I demonstrated that due to their different Christologies, they applied different theories on gender, reproduction, body and soul, when they elaborated on the Incarnation and birth of the Messiah.

The idea of following the "true religion" was a part of the construction of "us", at the same time, it was a marker of distinction and differentiation from others (what we are not). Religion was also a major factor in the perception of alterity: resulting in separation and opposition, manifesting on the level of the communities pertaining to them.
Based on the terminological approach, we could see that the concept of otherness as well as a term indicating it, was not present, however, a set of lexical items, terms, and notions were used to refer to perceptions of difference on multiple levels (religious, linguistic, racial, etc.), as well as they were tools for othering. A whole web of ideas could be identified either in case of the constructions of otherness, or in case of those of belonging.
As an outcome of the research, it may be mentioned that this essay addresses the contemporary and increasing debate on the perception of Islam/the Muslim as other. On the one hand, this paper offers data related to an early phase of this perception; on the other, the challenge of the research lies in the geographic area: the Christian authors examined here lived together with Muslims, so the so-called Saidian "oriental other" based on the Western othering is not applicable.

But given that apologetic works are supposed to give an overall outlook of a given set of beliefs, it is natural that ethical approaches should appear. Christian authors in the 9th century established a close relation of the intellect and questions of good and evil, thus this approach seems to be close to Mu'tazilism and its rational ethics. We may thus conclude that Christian ethical approach in this period argues against the overall traditionalist ethics of Islam. Thus, it might be said that Christian theologians used an ethical argument to defend Christianity and refute Islam.
As for the question of interaction, we could on the one hand see that Muslim and Qur'anic terminology appeared here, so Christian terminology seems to be influenced by Muslim theology. In my view, this is the case because the adversaries in the debates were Muslim theologians. It is expected that Christians address them according to their vocabulary. They debate to defend the Christian belief and to invalidate the Muslim creed. For being dialecticians, they had to use the terms and reasoning of their opponents.
On the other hand, we could see that various sets of prin- ciples and terminologies adopted later by Mu'tazilism appeared in these works. These books I discussed here are among the earliest pieces of theology written in Arabic. For this reason, an intercession of terminologies with later Muslim usage is likely
to happen. Having borrowed philosophical and theological terms and transmitting them to later Muslim theologians, Christian authors make the case of a bridge between Christianity and Islam.

in Arabic Christian theology and philosophy and to identify similarities and differences in the way third-/ninth-century Arabic Christian thinkers use this term.
The three authors, ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī, Abū Qurra, and Abū Rāʾiṭa, believe to varying degrees that the intellect is crucial for the cognition of God and for finding and establishing the true religion. Still, theymaintain faith as a source of knowledge of certain religious truths that are inaccessible to the human mind. ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī’s statements refer to the cognitive faculties of the intellect, its role in perception and understanding, its role in ethics, and its being a gift of God. He may be compared to the two
other authors discussed above, who also present the intellect as a gift of God.
Both Theodore Abū Qurra and ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī emphasize the cognitive role of the intellect: it is a means of understanding and distinguishing, it can examine analogies and infer knowledge from things. More specifically, both authors consider the intellect a means for distinguishing between good and bad, with the implication that ʿaql is crucial in ethics as well. However, ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī and Abū Rāʾiṭa refer to the limits of the intellect and emphasize that analogy can only lead to a partial and incomplete cognitive result. But while Abū Rāʾiṭa mentions the help of God (ta ʾyīd Allāh), ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī puts the emphasis on the role of Scriptures in those cases when the intellect needs assistance. In
the case of Arabic Christian authors, we may say that when they turn to God or to Scripture, that is to say, to revelation, their approach is fundamentally inscribed in a theological framework.
I started my investigation of the term and concept of ʿaql with the assumptionthat it may contribute to our understanding of the formation of philosophical-theological terminologies, being a semantically loaded term. I introduced the interpretations of three Christian authors concerning ʿaql, and I showed that its use in Arabic Christian theology is characterized by variety and difference. However, further research on the works of other Arabic Christian thinkers is a requisite to obtain a more general appreciation of ʿaql. Arabic Christian theological writings form a complex system, and only further investigation will shed light on its role in the development of kalām and philosophy as a whole.

These imply such a variety of meanings and tones that it is improbable to be the invention of the first
generation of Arabophone Christians. There must have been a preexistent set of concepts which they could rely upon and which then came to be articulated in Arabic by them. Furthermore, there are a lot of similarities between the usage of terms and the interpretations, which further reflects a preexistent Greek/Syriac tradition known by all denominations. On the other hand, some Semitic-Islamic features in the use of synonymous terms were identified, which attests to the role of the Muslim–Christian interaction in the development of Arabic theological terminology.

Hephtalites primarily in terms of discipline. This classification aims to draw attention to the significance of geographical, literary, exegetical and administrative texts in addition to the more well-known historical texts.
The study also assesses the extent to which such a broader range of sources can provide new data and how the hitherto unrecorded Arabic-language sources on the Hephthalites contribute to the existing knowledge of the Hephthalites.

This article aims to reconstruct the reception of Act XVII adopted by the Hungarian Parliament in 1916, which brought about the legal recognition of Islam, from the stance of the Holy See of Rome. The research is based on archival material preserved at the Vatican Archives, namely letters exchanged between the Nunziature of Vienna and the Holy See, which are published and translated here. The presentation of so far unpublished material provides an opportunity to follow the growing understanding of the contents and background of this law; the key points of interest of the Catholic Church in this matter are identified; while lexical references seek to shed light on the perceptions of Islam.
