Summary/Abstract: This paper provides an account of the phonetic transformations of the Arabisms in Morisco manuscripts dated back to the 16th century and the first decade of the 17th one, by analysing various translations and transcriptions of the Qur’an. The present work is therefore a partial replica of a previous linguistic study carried out by Reinhold Kontzi on the Qur´anic Morisco fragment found in RESC/41.1. Perhaps the most important novelty of the paper at hand is the inclusion of two unedited manuscripts in the research, viz. RESC/37M.2 and RESC/101D.2 of Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás, Madrid.
