Abstract:	Dominicus Germanus de Silesia's Qur'an translation is certainly a fascinating chapter in the history of Qur'an translations in the Iberian Peninsula. It was written, in fact, in the Escorial monastery, where its author, the Franciscan friar Dominicus Germanus de Silesia (1588 - 1670), spent the last part of his life working on it. It is in many respects a unique translation and, even if it was basically concluded in 1664, we could say that Dominicus saw it as a lifetime work.
