Descriptive card

This dissertation was written by the Halle professor Christian Benedict Michaelis and presented by his student Friedrich Eberhard Boysen (1720-1800), who in 1775 would publish his own German translation of the Qur'an. It uses the Qur'an as a source of antiquarian information to explicate various culturally obscure passages in the Hebrew Bible.
