As a PhD candidate within the Biblia Arabica project, my research focuses on the Christian Arabic translations of the Song of Songs. After compiling a comprehensive inventory of the extant witnesses, I will analyze the linguistic features of these translations and examine their relationship to the various Vorlagen, alongside the integration of paratextual and codicological data into discussions of canon and usage. The project will culminate in the preparation of a critical edition of at least one significant version of the Christian Arabic Song of Songs.
