Descriptive card

This is one of the most important 19th-century French translations of the Qurʾān, first published in 1840 (Paris). Unlike earlier French versions, it was made directly from the Arabic text, not via Latin intermediaries, and aimed at philological accuracy rather than polemics. The verses of the 114 Suras are numbered.
