Centuries-Old Koran Found In Local Church
1:57 pm EDT October 14, 2010





BOSTON -- A researcher made a surprising discovery hidden in the attic of a Medford church.
The Rev. Hank Pierce went to the Universalist Church to check out some old books that are part of the library of the Rev. David Osgood, who served the church 300 years ago.

Tucked in the collection was a translation of the Koran that was published in 1795, according to Wicked Local Medford.

Pierce said the small brown book shows that Osgood "has a real intellectual curiosity."
"Here he was at the end of the American Revolution and it was a time of great change. Here was a religious book and he wanted to see what it had to say," Pierce told Wicked Local.

At the time the book was published, there weren't any Muslims living in Massachusetts, Pierce said.
"The fact that he spent money and bought it. I can’t see him preaching on it, but that he was curious of the ideas and stories of another religion that might be the same as scripture," Pierce said.
He said the find was interesting because it shows the teachings of Muhammad have been in Medford for more than two centuries.

Along with the book, Pierce found a copy of a newspaper about an Indian attack in Boston Harbor, where tea was taken and dumped.
