Descriptive card

This work contains a French translation by Richard Simon of the Jesuit Giralomo Dandini's (d. 1634) account of the Levant. It is followed by Simon's corrections and reflections which serve to redress widespread misconceptions of Muslims and Islam. In his remarks to chapters VII and XI, Richard Simon describes the Muslim prayers, providing a transcription of Arabic formulas used. Elements of theology are given, as well as a respectful account of the status of the "Alcoran" and a brief mention of the status of Jesus in it.
