Palmer was the first Arabist English translator who lived among the Arabs and was fully immersed in the spoken language. Palmer published his translation of the Quran in 1880 with an introduction on the history of the life of the Prophet. The translation appeared as part of the series “Sacred Books of the East”, published by Oxford University Press (imprint Clarendon Press in Oxford), which later republished the set as part of its sequel series “The World’s Classics.” With Palmer’s translation the image of the Quran witnessed a huge transformation. This volume contain sixteen chapters. The Quran is necessary to make oneself acquainted with the circumstances of the people in whose midst it was revealed, with political and religious aspects of the period and with the personal history of the prophet himself.
