Descriptive card

Although it is claimed that this French version was translated from the original Arabic text, the French text shows that Marracci's Latin translation was used. Such accusations were voiced by Jean-Michel Venture de Paradis and Albin de Kazimirski Biberstein. The edition contains a "summary" of the Prophet's life as well.
