List of translations of the Quran

This is a sub-article to Qur'an translations.

Historical (up to the 21st century)

600s–900s

The second known translation was into Greek. We know nothing about who made this translation, or for what purpose. It is however very probable that it was a complete translation. We know of it (and substantial fragments are preserved) because it was used by Nicetas Byzantius, a scholar from Constantinople, in his 'Refutatio' written between 855 and 870.[2]

This is inferred from two references: … an anonymous early ninth century Kashmiri Hindu king ... wrote a letter to Amir Abdullah bin Umar bin Abdul Aziz of Mansura, requesting him to dispatch a scholar to his court who could explain the tenets of the Islamic shariah in the language "al-Hindia".[4] The ninth century Arab traveller Buzurg bin Shahryar mentions in his travelogue, Aja’ib-ul Hind [‘The Wonders of India’], that the Hindu king of Mehroke in Kashmir had commissioned the preparation of a Kashmiri translation of the Holy Qur’an.[5]
