Descriptive card

Catalan treatise against Islam and the Qur'an ascribed to Pedro Pascual, member of the Order of Mercy and bishop of Jaén between 1296 and 1300, who was captured by the Nasrid Muslims and imprisoned in Granada. The ascription to Pedro Pascual was recently questioned. A manuscript copy of the treatise was sent from the Kingdom of Castile to Juan de Segovia in Aiton, who disregarded as uselessly polemical and unfaithful to Qur'anic contents.
