Johann David Michaelis' extensive review-essay of Friedrich Eberhard Boysen's German Qur'an translation (1775). It was published in Michaelis' own Orientalische und Exegetische Bibliothek 8 (1775), pp. 30-98. In addition to a consideration of Boysen's Qur'an translation, this review essay also offers Michaelis' views on the Qur'an and its European translations more broadly.
