Descriptive card

Presented in Halle on 30 September 1739 (several weeks after a similar Halle diss. on Old Testament rituals) as an inaugural dissertation, it was written by the Halle professor Christian Benedict Michaelis and defended by Christian Friedrich Tieffensee, who with this antiquarian dissertation, exploring the uses of the Qur'an for explicating antiquarian points of Scripture gained the degree of magister artium.
