History of Research (1500s) -- Notes

At the beginning of the 16th century, following the path of Nicolaus Cusanus and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Guillaume Postel also advocated a conciliatory approach to the Qur'an based on the assumption that all religions shared common roots and principles.

However, when In 1543 Theodor Bibliander published the first printed edition of the Qur'an in Latin, based on the 12th cent. translation by Robert of Ketton (Lex Mahumet pseudoprophete), the text was introduced to the readers in the context of a series of Christian apologetic treatises and commentaries.

In 1547 the Florentine Andrea Arrivabene was the first to publish a translation of the Koran into a modern European language, based on the Latin translation of Robert of Ketton.
