Title	Machumetis Saracenorum principis eiusque successorum vitae acdoctrina ipseque Alcoran
Subject	Koran; Latin
Description	Machumetis Saracenorum principis eiusque successorum vitae ac doctrina ipseque Alcoran quo... D. Petrus abbas Cluniacensis per viros eruditos, ad fidei Christianae ac sanctae matris Ecclesiae propugnationem, ex Arabica lingua in Latinam transferri curavit. His adiunctae sunt Confutationes multorum, & quidem probati[ss]imorum authorum, Arabum, Graecorum, & Latinorum, una cum excellenti[ssimi] Theologi Martini Lutheri praemonitione. (The Lives and Teachings of Muhammed, prince of the Saracens, and his successors, as well as the Koran... which the Lord Abbot Peter of Cluny had translated into Latin from the Arabic language by learned men, for the propagation of the Christian faith and of Holy Mother Church. To these have been added the Refutations by many of the most worthy Arabic, Greek, and Latin authors, together with a foreword by the most excellent theologian, Martin Luther.) The first printed edition of the Koran in Latin, and the first surviving printed edition in any language, based upon the twelfth-century translation made at the behest of Abbot Peter of Cluny. Edited by Theodor Bibliander (1504 or 1509-1564), German theologian and polyglot, and follower of Ulrich Zwingli, whose work he continued in Zurich. The preface by Martin Luther testifies to the significance of Islam for mid-sixteenth century Christians at a time when the Turks posed a major military threat to Christian Europe. Folio. Contemporary blind-stamped pigskin binding.
