Uniform title

[Koran. Latin]

Title

Machumetis Saracenorum principis, eiusque successorum vitae, ac doctrina, ipseque Alcoran, quo velut authentico legum diuinarum codice Agareni & Turcæ, alijq[ue] Christo aduersantes populi regu[n]tur. quæ ante annos CCCC, uir multis nominibus, Diui quoq[ue] Bernardi testimonio, clarissimus, D. Petrus abbas Cluniacensis per uiros eruditos, ad fidei Christianæ ac sanctæ matris ecclesiæ propugnationem, ex Arabica lingua in Latinum transferri curauit. His adiunctæ sunt confutationes multorum, & quidem probatissimorum authorum, Arabum, Græcorum, & Latinorum, unà cum doctissimi uiri Philippi Melanchthonis præmonitione. Quibus uelut instructissima fidei Catholicæ propugnatorum acie, peruersa dogmata & tota superstitio Machumetica profligantur. Adiunctæ sunt etiam, Turcarum, qui non tam sectatores Machumeticæ uæsaniæ, quàm uindices & propugnatores, nominisq[ue] Christiani acerrimos hostes aliquot iam seculis præstiterunt, res gestæ maximè memorabiles, à DCCCC annis ad nostra usq[ue] tempora. Hæc omnia in unum uolumen redacta sunt, opera & studio Theodori Bibliandri, ecclesiæ Tigurinæ ministri, qui collatis etiam exemplaribus Latinis & Arab. Alcorani textum emendauit, & marginib. apposuit annotationes, quibus doctrinæ Machumeticæ absurditas, contradictiones origines errorum, diuinæq[ue] scripturæ deprauationes, atq[ue] aliæ id genus indicantur. Quæ quidem in lucem edidit ad gloriam Domini Iesu Christi, & multiplicem ecclesiæ utilitatem, aduersus Satanam principem tenebrarum, eiusq[ue] nuncium Antichristum: quem oportet manifestari, & confici spiritu oris Christi seruatoris nostri. ...
