طرح كنترافرنسيا و نقش آن در پيشبرد قرآن پژوهي غرب

The Contra Francia Plan and its Role in Promoting QuranicStudies in the West

پيش روي سپاهيان عثماني در اروپاي شرقي و مركزي ، بزرگان كليسا را به ارايه راهكارها و طرح هايي در مقابله با خطر روزافزون عثماني واداشت. يكي از مشهورترين اين راهكارها، طرح كنترافرنسيا/ كنفرانس صلح ميان پيروان اديان يا به عبارت صحيح تر ،صلح ميان مسلمانان و مسيحيان بود كه از سوي خووان سگوويايي، كاردينال مشهور اسپانيايي، پيشنهاد گرديد. اين طرح اگر چه بنابر واقعيت هاي سياسي آن زمان صورت بندي نشده بود؛ اما، با اين حال، تغييرات محسوسي را در عرصه هاي گوناگون قرآن پژوهي غربيان، در ميانه سده پانزدهم ميلادي ايجاد كرد. مقاله حاضر با استفاده از شيوه زمينه شناسي تاريخي به بررسي انگيزه ها و علل صورت بندي طرح كنترافرنسيا، مسايل مربوط به آن و همچنين تأثير آن در مطالعات قرآني غربيان مي پردازد. يافته هاي پژوهش حاضر نشان مي دهد كه فضاي خصمانه حاكم بر اروپاي آن روز نه تنها طرح كنترافرنسيا را ناكام گذارد بلكه مطالعات قرآني اين عصر را نيز دستخوش مجادلات كلامي نمود.

The Ottoman armyrsquo s advance intoEastern and Central Europe made the church authorities offerpolicies and plans to deal with the growing threat of the Ottoman Empire. One of the most famous of these measureswas Contra Franciaplan (the peace conference of Muslims and Christians)which was proposed by Juan de Segovia, the famous Spanish Cardinal. Although this plan had not been arranged on the basis of the political realities of the time, it led to significant changes in various areas of the Western research on the Quranin the midfifteenth century. Using the method of studying historical context, the present paper explores the motives ofarranging Contra Franciaplan, issues related to it, as well as its impact on the Westernsrsquo Quranic studies. The findings of the present study reveal that the hostile atmosphere of Europe then not only resulted in the failure of theContra Franciaplan, but it also caused the Quranic studies to be subject totheological polemics.The Ottoman armyrsquo s advance intoEastern and Central Europe made the church authorities offerpolicies and plans to deal with the growing threat of the Ottoman Empire.
