Brussels, officially the Brussels Region or Brussels-Capital Region, is the capital of Belgium and the de facto capital of the European Union (EU). It is also the largest urban area in Belgium, comprising 19 municipalities, including the municipality of the City of Brussels, which is the de jure capital of Belgium, in addition to the seat of the French Community of Belgium and of the Flemish Community.
Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by a descendant of Charlemagne to a sizeable city. The city has a population of 1.1 million and a metropolitan area with a population of over 1.8 million, both of them the largest in Belgium. Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a main centre for international politics. Hosting principal EU institutions and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the city has become the polyglot home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants.

This is Paul Courant's favorite book in the library. It is called the Polyglot Psalter, and includes translations of the Book of Psalms into Hebrew, Vulgate Latin, Greek, Arabic and Chaldean (a form of Aramaic). The library's notes on this book describe it this way: "This amazing book is a tour de force of printing skill and Renaissance openness to new ideas." For the first time, the sacred texts were opened and compared among religious traditions. Plus, I loved a little side note to the story of this book's publication: It was printed in Genoa, home of Christopher Columbus. The layout includes interpretative notes in the margins throughout, and at one textual reference the editor includes a lengthy description of the explorer's voyages -- I guess they were really proud of their hometown man of fame!
Habitat : Cet oiseau affectionne les friches aérées à végétation basse, les landes en voie de colonisation, les buissons, pourvu qu'ils soient bien exposés, car l'hypolaïs aime la chaleur et les terrains secs. Il ne dédaigne pas pour autant de s'installer près des rivières, mais choisit de préférence le versant de vallée le mieux orienté.
Comportements : Sylviidé migrateur transsaharien. Occupe l'Europe Occidentale et l'Afrique du Nord. Le nord-est de la France représente la zone de transition entre la polyglotte et la cousine, l'hypolaïs ictérine qui occupe l'Europe Centrale et Orientale.
Chant : Ses facultés d'imitation lui ont valu le nom de polyglotte. En effet, dans le babil incessant que délivre l'hypolaïs, figurent des sons empruntés au registre d'autres espèces. Elle entame souvent sa composition sonore par quelques notes du merle noir (Turdus merula), du moineau domestique, de la grive musicienne ou bien encore de l'hirondelle rustique. C'est une chanteuse assidue qui, absorbée dans ses vocalises territoriales se laisse alors observer bien en évidence sur la branche dépassant du roncier ou l'arbuste dominant les broussailles.

The origin of the name relates to a relic attribute to the prophet Muhammad, it is believed that the museum contains a hair strand belonging to the prophet Muhammad. During the 17th century it was converted into a madrasa for students and in 1856-1857, Mirza Ahmad Kushbegi had it rebuilt. Today it houses the library of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan.

‘Uthman Qur'an: also known as the Samarkand Kufic Qur'an, Uthmani Quran, Samarkand codex, and Samarkand manuscript, this is an 8th or 9th century manuscript Quran written in modern Iraq in the Kufic script. This copy of the Quran is traditionally considered to be one of a group commissioned by the third Caliph Uthman, however, the modern scholarship has put this attribution in question. The Tashkent Manuscript is one of the oldest Qurans known to exist.
Uthman (ʿUthmān bin ʿAffān c. 573/ 576- 656), was a second cousin, son-in-law and notable companion of the Prophet Muhammad, as well as the third of the Rāshidun, or "Rightly Guided Caliphs" (r. 644-656, assassinated).

her footle is connected
to her frumpy-rumple-doo
which conspirigates itself around
her antiperspypoo
her post-lymphatic gangeroids
located in each ear
avoid her situponicles
located in the rear
her polyglotic femuroidal
sophoglatic phlange
hangs very loosely in between
and guards against the mange
her angeroidal metacarpis
just above the chest
contracts to hyperventilate
and aeriates her vest
constricted by contabulations
round about the heart
are brillopaddic bumbly-tracts
which meet then fall apart
her streptopickle-plonking button
just below the ribs
recedes in stormy weather
or when she’s telling fibs
her cybernetic clacker-wibble
wobbles when she walks
her tackytetro-telemachus
giggles when she talks
her secondary pontefract
pulsating near the spleen
emits a pulmonary spray
and turns a putrid green
her vacillating vladivostok
often lying dormant
is known to burst its bladderbog
and cause a sudden torment
her catalytic shifter
which is often out of use
installs itself quite neatly
in her Ashby-De-La-Zouche
her megalythic marlybone
is just like yours or mine
and it swivels in a socket at the bottom of her spine
at dinner-time her heebiegeebie
gastronominater
consolidates her consomme
and purifies it later
but
her poetetic persiflage
is what she uses best
that’s the bit that writes the poems
and it never takes a rest
