In this Youtube video interview our post-doc Olav Elgvin talks with the German professor of Islamic Studies Mohammad Gharaibeh about his post-doc project and the larger cancode project. Elgvin discusses what translation can tell us about canonization: If a text is chosen for translation into Norwegian, does that mean that Muslim communities regard it as more canonical?
