Rückenschild und floraler Rückenvergoldung. Brunet, VI, 28001. Chahine, Bibliographie du Levant 3859. - Erste französische Ausgabe. Die britische Originalausgabe erschien 1697. - "The Life of Mahomet was in fact printed as a polemical tract against the deists. As a biography it is valueless from the point of view of moderne knowledge. Some of its error were noted by Sale in the discourse and notes to his translation of the Koran 1734. Prideaux had thought of writing a history of the Saracen empire but turned insted for his next historical subject to th interval between the Old and the New testament" (Dict. of Nat. Biogr. XLV, 352). - Der britische Theologe und Orientalist Humphrey Prideaux (1648-1724) beruft sich in dem vorliegenden Werk auf die Studien des bedeutenden Orientalisten und Bibelforschers Edward Pococke (1604-1691), der eine Sammlung von über 400 orientalischen Manuskripten besaß. - Stempel auf dem Vorsatz, sehr gutes sauberes und dekorativ gebundenes Exemplar.
