Pontus de Tyard et l’islam Autour de son exemplaire retrouvé du Coran

Humanist and prelate, Pontus de Tyard had a very important library, whose books, often annotated, testify to various interests. Two rediscovered books reveal the unknown interest of the bishop of Chalon for Islam: it is indeed the first edition of the Koran, a Latin version published in 1543. By a hundred handwritten notes (both philological, theological and historical), his reader's reactions also implicitly show the preoccupations of a contemporary of the Wars of Religion.
