'''''{{italic title}}The Quran of Historians''''' ({{langx|fr|Le Coran des historiens}}) is a work of research and historical synthesis on [[Islam]], specifically focusing on the [[Quranism|Quran]]. It was published in three volumes in 2019 by [[éditions du Cerf]] after five years of work. The book was described as a "[[summa]]" of current knowledge on the history of Islam by several researchers. It is the first commentary on the entire Quran published in the field of [[Quranic studies]] in French.
The writing was entrusted to researchers but was directed by [[Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi]] and Guillaume Dye. The book includes contributions from twenty-eight researchers.

Cette somme, en langue française, fait le point de l’état des recherches sur le texte coranique et son contexte d’élaboration (vol. 1). Elle est associée à un commentaire analytique des 114 sourates coraniques (vol. 2 et 3).
