Composite codex described in the catalogues as Theologische Sammelhandschrift; it contains various polemical texts against Islam: fols 1r-18r Alcorani surae 21. Et 22. In linguam latinam traductae, followed by Interpretatio quorundam terminorum arabicorum; fols 18v-42v Disputatio quatuor Judaeorum cum Mahometa duce Obadia Ben Schalon; fols 43r-82v Epitome totius Alchorani in sura 112 abrupta; fol 83r Appendix de mahometanorum placitis religiosis. The first text is a copy of Raimondo Moncada's partial translation of the Qur'an. The manuscript was acquired by Johannes Fabri in 1540 (ex-libris on the pastedown), then passed to the Kollegium St. Nikolaus (Vienna) (fol. 83v).
