Descriptive card

One of the few works left by the short-lived scholar Matthias Georg Schröder (1695-1719). Its aim is to collect and discuss verses in the Qur'an which to the author's mind prove the veracity of Christian doctrine. Muhammad is for Schröder thus an unwilling witness to the Christian truth.
