Item description from seller

Third edition (one of two simultaneously published issues) of the second Dutch translation of the Quran, translated by Jan Hendrik Glazemaker from André Du Reyer's French translation and finely illustrated by Caspar Luyken. Glazemaker's translation was first published in 1657 and proved quite popular, going through six editions. The text of the Quran is followed by a life of Mohammed, extracted from Ibn al-Amid's history of the Saracens and several other sources, translated from Erpenius's Latin rendering of the original Arabic. This edition was intended for Christians, who did not concern themselves with the Islamic restrictions on pictorial illustration. The preface is followed by a 5-page summary of the religion of the Ottomans.Occasionally a brown stain, mostly in the margins, otherwise in very good condition. Binding somewhat stained.l Klaversma & Hannema 1049; Thijsse-Schouten, Jan Hendrik Glazemaker 30; STCN 108552985 (8 copies); USTC 1832382 (7 copies). Contemporary blind-tooled vellum, with manuscript title on spine. With an integral engraved title-page (dated 1696), engraved by J. Lamsvelt, and 6 engraved plates showing the Prophet Mohammed, engraved by Caspar Luyken. Pages: [12], 547, [1 blank] pp.…
