Further notes

Despite the fact that there is any references about the number of the verse, the text seems to follow the order of the muṣḥaf : the book is introduced by the Fātiḥa (“prière”), and then maxims began with some verses from al-Baqara, and so on

Descriptive card

This in-16 edition is a collection of 224 quranic quotations in a deist perspective. Savary argued that he ‘removed anything that savours of error or fanaticism’ on the one hand, and conserved ‘the purest morality of Mahomet’ in this compendium. Thus, said Savary, ‘one will only find thoughts liable to elevate the mind (…).’ .
