... that the earliest Latin translation of any part of the Quran is a single verse in the Storia de Mahometh? Source: Wolf 2014, p. 15 n11: "The portion of the Storia dedicated to the Zaynab incident is actually a Latin translation of Qurʾan 33:37, making it the first known Latin translation of any portion of the Qurʾan."
ALT1: ... that while accepting the basic facts of Muhammad's life as given in the Islamic tradition, the Christian Storia de Mahometh gives a negative interpretation of every one? Source: Wolf 2014, p. 15: "the Latin author twisted for polemical effect each and every historical datum that he pilfered from the official account of the Prophet."
