History of research (1450s) -- Notes
The Medieval legacy
In 1143 Robert of Ketton completed the first edition of the Qur'an in Latin, commissioned by Peter the Venerable to promote the religious conversion of Muslims to Christianity. In spite of its poor quality and anti-Islamic bias, Robert of Ketton's translation, first printed by Theodor Bibliander in 1543, was the standard version of the Qur'an known in Europe until the 17th century.
Mark of Toledo's translation was more accurate and less biased than the previous translation by Robert of Ketton, but never became as popular. Knowledge of Islamic sources among Christian scholars came mostly through apologetic works.
1450s
In the second half of the 15th century, Nicolaus Cusanus and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola inaugurated a less polemical approach to the Qur'an, based on their conviction that every and each religion contains some portions of the Truth.
