Hamburg, ex officina Schultz-Schilleriana, 1694, (80),560,(10) p., cont. vellum, 4to. Lacks htitle, Arabic title used as pastedown, title and following leaf dam., a few lvs loose, occas. staining (incl. binding). Former owner's entry 'H. (Henry) Middeldorp Hamb. 1808'. In all, an acceptable copy. VD17 has 4 entries w. different fingerprints for this edition, the typesetting of the introduction (a-u2) of this copy differs slightly from that of a digitized version (a-q2. r3, s-u2), otherwise the contents seem to be identical. This work is the so-called "Hamburger Koran", the first complete German edition of the Quran and the first and only edition of Hinckelmann's Arabic text; the publication and translation were in fact prohibited by pope Alexander II. It is the second edition of the complete Arabic Quran, with a Latin introduction by the editor. Of the first edition (Venice, ca. 1537/1538), only one copy is known, and it was previously thought to have been completely destroyed. Hinckelmann’s edition was therefore the first available to European scholars, missionaries and Islamic readers, and it remained the primary source for European knowledge of the Quran for 140 years. The present copy is manually annotated, and there are numerous contemporary Latin translations written in pen above the Arabic words.
