Summary |
Qur'an published in 1850, translated into English by George Sale in 1734. Inscribed in red ink on fronts pages by Aliya Hassen, "The George Sales Translation is the poorest ever done - Saving because of its antiquity, A.H. Also very interesting hodge podge commentary being a very prejudiced Christian many of his superstitions relegated to Islam, he romanticized the New Testament's "Revelations" some of which were adopted into the beliefs of uneducated Muslims. However, for fantasy it is remarkable for his day." End pages include genealogy charts for the tribes of Arabs and the descendants of Ismael sone of Abraham, as well as a map of Arabia, and diagram of Mecca. |
