Descriptive card

Hackspan's dialogue brings together a Lutheran (representing the author's point of view), a Catholic, a Jew, and a Muslim. The first half of the work pivots on Muslim negation of Christ's passion and the other interlocutors' response to this. The Muslim interlocutor ("Turk") quote at length from the Qur'an both in Arabic -- followed by a Latin translation. While the work concludes, as expected, with the validation of the Christian view of the Passion both the Muslim and Jewish interlocutors are allowed to lay out their views (as Hackspan understood them).
