About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1882. Not illustrated.

It is not easy to say for how much of this prejudice the standard English translator is responsible. The patient and meritorious George Sale put the Koran into tangled English and heavy quarto, --people read quartos then and did not call them editions de luxe, -- his version then appeared in a clumsy octavo, with most undesirable type and paper; finally it has come out in a cheap edi...
