Summary/Abstract: Among the Muslim community in Romania, especially among Romanians converted to Islam, there is an extensive amount of Islamic materials written or translated into the Romanian language. Most of these materials are translations, from Arabic and English, of texts with religious content, written by Muslim authors from outside Romania. Some of these written materials were translated, published and disseminated either as projects of cultural religious organizations or as personal projects of devoted members of the community. Currently, this type of literature that circulates officially, but especially informally, within local different Muslim communities, is unmapped and unreviewed, neither in its content nor in its forms of dissemination (books, magazines, brochures). Especially in the case of printed documents, there are countless unknowns: what was printed, when it was printed, how it was printed, by whom and in how many editions.
