Descriptive card

This treatise is bound together with the "Exegesis to the Book of the Apocalypse by John the Theologian" by Andrew of Caesarea (563-637). Based extensively on Western sources, such as the journal of G. Brémond or the "Life of Muhammad" by J. Gagnier, the treatise of Jacob the monk is a refutation of Muhammad's night vision (Mi'raj), to which the author adds a discussion of the Prophet's wives and the holy places of Mecca and Medina.
