ABOUT PHI

The Norwegian Institute of Philology (PHI) is an independent research institution based in Oslo, Norway. Our research focuses on historical philology, i.e. the study of ancient and classical languages and their historical, literary and cultural environment. One of the objectives of PHI is to emphasize the need for comparative historical philology in an increasingly globalized world.

The Norwegian Institute of Philology is an independent academic institution which relies on grants and donations to operate

and develop. If you appreciate our work, you can support

PHI with a one-time, monthly or annual contribution.

THE MULTILINGUAL HISTORICAL KORAN

In 2018 PHI  launched an initiative to publish a multilingual and historical edition of the Koran – a project which investigates several aspects of this central document of Islam and of the Arabic language.

PHI organises a weekly Koran reading seminar studying the original text with early translations into Greek (870 AD), Persian (976 AD and 10th century), Turkic (11th century) and Latin (1143 and 1210).

BARLAAM AND JOSAPHAT

BIBLIOTHECA POLYGLOTTA

The Bibliotheca Polyglotta (BP) is a digital corpus of major historical multilingual texts.

 

The BP is a rich database for linguistic and philological research, and documents the global history of concepts as displayed in a number of languages, and it demonstrates how concepts diffuse historically into new languages, and thus into new cultural contexts.
