Statement: Reading the Qur’an Backwards: Orientalism, Science, and Philology in Sevententh-Century Florence is the book I intend to write at the IAS. I like to describe it as an exercise in Microhistory and World Philology. It explores the role of Oriental studies among Galileo’s students between 1666 and 1711.
