Abstract

In this brief study, we will present texts found in the two Yemeni translations of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Holy Qur'an. The first complete translation of the Gospel of Jesus has come down to us through three manuscripts: Arabic Vatican 17 and 18, and Leiden 561. We also have fragments of the second translation of the Gospel of Jesus through Imam Zaidi, the founder of the Zaidi state, in his book: "The Book of Response to the Christians." We will also present some similar texts between the two Gospels and the Qur'an. These studies will contribute to adding new information to these studies. May God grant us success.
