Signatures: AA8, A-Z8, Aa-Nn8, Oo10, Pp-Qq8. First edition of Denis the Carthusian's treatise against Islam with numerous quotations from the Qur?an. Preceded the earliest complete Latin edition of the Qur?an by ten years. "Contra Alchoranum" the anti-Islamic work of the Carthusian monk Dionysius (14021471) was written around 1454, but only printed some eighty years later, in this edition. It was edited by Petrus Blomeuenna, whose dedicatory epistle is addressed to Emperor Ferdinand I. The laudatory poem about Dionysius Carthusianus that closes the book was written by Nicolas van Essche (15071578). Dionysius cites passages of the Qur'an, in the Latin translation of Robert of Ketton, and counters them by biblical quotations, he places these Qur'anic theses and biblical antitheses in the mouths of a Christian and a Saracen as a fictitious dialogue. He also encourages crusades against the Ottoman Turks, who shortly before he wrote this treatise, had conquered Constantinople. "Contra Alchoranum" is considered to be the first printed source in Latin of the legend of Bahira or Sergius the Nestorian Monk, who according to the story together with three Jews conveyed the text of the Qur'an to Mohammed, with massive falsification of the Biblical traditions. The book has been published ten years earlier than the first printed version of the entire text of the Qur?an in Latin translation (Machumetis Saracenorum principis; Basel, 1543), and uses the same translation by the English scholar Robert of Ketton (Robertus Ketenensis; 11101160). In 1540 a paraphrased abridged German translation of "Contra Alchoranum" was published in Strasbourg under the title "Alchoran.

165 x 115 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/2"). Single column, verso with 18 lines, in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, one three-line initial in blue filled with foliage on burnished gold ground, verso with panel border of colorful flowers, a vase, and acanthus, recto with A MINIATURE OF THE VIRGIN AND CHILD flanked by two angels, framed by gold and painted bars on three sides and A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, a vase, and gold bezants. Minor soiling to vellum, but in excellent condition, the miniature especially well preserved. This especially intimate and tender scene shows the so-called Virgo Lactans (or Nursing Madonna), the Virgin suckling the infant Christ; it accompanies the text for "Obsecro te," a popular Marian prayer appealing to the Virgin for protection and intercession. The prayer is not always accompanied by a miniature, and the present illustration, being rather large and skillfully done, is a particularly appealing example. The Virgin's facial features are especially excellent, with beautiful molding and shading that give her visage deep complexity and emotional resonance. The use of gold in this miniature adds to its richness; delicately highlighted garments, tresses, and angel wings catch the light and seem to shimmer as one moves the page. The high-quality illumination, liberal use of gold, and robust borders all suggest that the original manuscript must have been the product of an accomplished workshop.…
