In 1453, the Western Christian world was shocked by the fall of Constantinople. While a lot of theologians and leaders of the Latin church focused on a military answer to the threat of Islam, some theologians of the Council of Basel developed non-violent ideas and conceptions how to face Islam. Among those scholars, John of Segovia (d. 1458), a friend of Council fellow Nicolas of Cusa (d. 1464), is one of the most important. He clearly saw the necessity of an adequate theological and intellectual and not military answer to Islam. He wrote three major works on this subject in form of letters or treatises which are often discussed in publications. But besides of these texts, he also wrote a series of smaller texts. He planned them to be a part of the corpus of texts with which he tried to influence important leaders and decision-makers in Rome and Burgundy. Until now, only some of them are edited and all of them are not translated from Latin. Despite of their quality and inner systematic value they are hardly read or taken into account when writing on the Western way of facing Islam in the 15th century. These smaller texts and fragments are:I. Errores legis MahumetiII. Allegationes de peccatis primi parentisIII. XVI Scholastica documentaIV. De spiratione activaV. Praefatio in translationem secundamVI. Fragmenta translationis AlkoraniVII. Epistola ad Guillielmum de Orliaco.While the texts I.–VI. aim at Islam in a direct or indirect way, text VII. reveals the spiritual and Christological background for John of Segovia’s engagement at that time. Together with others the applicant has edited the texts I., II., and VI. In the new project „Opera minora“ all texts I.–VI. will be edited, translated, commented, interpreted, and published together according to their context. This edition will be published in the series Corpus Islamo-Christianum, where the applicant has published John of Segovia’s major work "De gladio divini spiritus".The applicant will work together with Dr. Jesse D. Mann (Drew University, Madison, New Jersey) who has agreed to contribute text VII. with an English translation.

1453年，君士坦丁堡的陷落震惊了西方基督教世界，虽然许多神学家和拉丁教会领袖都专注于以军事手段应对伊斯兰教的威胁，但巴塞尔会议的一些神学家却提出了非暴力思想，并提出了非暴力思想。在这些学者中，塞哥维亚的约翰（1458 年去世）是理事会成员库萨的尼古拉斯（1464 年去世）的朋友，他显然是最重要的一位。他看到了对伊斯兰教做出适当的神学和知识而非军事答案的必要性，他以信件或论文的形式撰写了三部主要著作，这些著作经常在出版物中讨论。他计划将这些文本纳入他试图影响罗马和勃艮第重要领导人和决策者的文本中，但到目前为止，只有其中一些经过编辑，所有文本都没有从拉丁文翻译过来。尽管它们的质量和内在的系统价值，它们却很少被阅读或在撰写有关 15 世纪西方面对伊斯兰教的方式时考虑到的内容是：I. Errores Legis MahumetiII. Fragmenta Translationis AlkoraniVII. I.–VI. 以直接或间接的方式针对伊斯兰教，文本 VII 揭示了塞戈维亚的约翰当时参与的精神和基督论背景，申请人与其他人一起编辑了文本 I.、II. 和 VI。在新项目“小歌剧”中，所有文本 I.–VI 将根据其上下文进行编辑、翻译、评论、解释和出版。申请人已发表约翰塞戈维亚的主要作品“De Gladio divini Spiritus”。申请人将与杰西·D·曼博士（新泽西州麦迪逊市德鲁大学）合作，后者已同意贡献文本VII及其英文翻译。
