Notes
Text in 2 columns Arabic. and Latin, first edition of Elmacinus' great chronicle "Tārīḫ al-muslimīn..." with the complete Arabic text. At the same time, a much more common quarto edition was published (containing only the translation, with different pagination [372, 75 pp.]: cf. Rahir, 197; Willems, 232). This "History of the Saracens" actually represents a history of Islam from the time of the Prophet Mohammed to the year 1118. "The folio edition of the 'Historia Saracenica' is truly the first historical work in Arabic to be published in Europe" (Smitskamp). Printed with the Arabic type that the editor Erpenius had cut for his private press, which he set up after his return from Paris in 1613. Erpenius, professor of oriental languages at Leiden, "is one of the men to whom the study of oriental languages owes its rebirth" (ADB VI, 329)
