Descriptive card

A series of 31 sermons by the Lutheran pastor Johannes Lauch(ius) (1560-1599). Lauch's information on Islam and the Qur'an is derived to great extent from the Basel Qur'an (1543) to which he refers repeatedly. This collection is a primary example for the impact the Basel Qur'an had on the kind of information and arguments about Islam a broader public were exposed to.
