In honour of Johann Christoph Wagenseil, Altdorf Professor of Canon Law and Polymath, a theological dissertation by Master Johann Michael Lange, theological licentiate and pastor in Vohenstrauß in Palatinate Sulzbach On the Mohammedan Fables concerning the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity and Divine Generation. In which is shown that Muhammad the False Prophet falsely attributes to Christians: I. Polytheism, especial Tritheism. II. That according to Christian teaching, Mary the Mother of Christ was is the third Person of the Trinity. III. A profane dogma on divine generation and finally IV. It is demonstrated from Christian Antiquity and from the history of the Qur’an that that Muhammad reached his false arguments not through theCollyridian heresy, as Marracci would have it, but rather from his misunderstanding of disputes against an Arian and especial against a Nestorian [...].
