Mark of Toledo / Marcus Tolletanus (d.1216) was a Spanish scholar, physician and canon at Toledo, Spain. As a member of the Toledo School of Translators, he translated many works from Arabic to latin, including the Qur'an. Although not as popular as the previous translation by Robert of Ketton, Mark's translation of the Quran was much more accurate and less biased against Islam.
