Descriptive card

Gordii Semenovich Sablukov (1803-1880) was a member of a Russian Orthodox Christian missionary movement, scholar, and historian of religion. In 1826, he graduated from the Orenburg Spiritual Seminary; in 1830 from the Moscow Spiritual Academy. For several years (1830-1849), he taught history and oriental languages at the Saratov Spiritual Seminary and later, in 1849-1962, oriental and classical languages at the Anti-Islamic Department of the Kazan Spiritual Academy. Sablukov's translation of the Qur'an into Russian (1877/8) became the first published translation from the original Arabic text. In addition to this rendering, Sablukov also authored 'Supplements to the translation of the Qur'an' (1879) that contained annotated indexes to text, and two treatises: 'Facts about the Qur'an' (1884) and 'Comparison of the Mohammedan teaching on the names of God with the Christian teaching about them' (1873).
