Marracci edition

The Marracci edition[1] is an Arabic edition and Latin translation of the Quran from 1698. It was published in two volumes under the title Alcorani Textus Universus Arabicè et Latinè in Padua, Italy by Ludovico Marracci, an Italian Oriental scholar and professor of Arabic in the College of Wisdom at Rome. His version of the Qurʻan included a life of Muhammad, with notes, and refutations of Muslim doctrines.[2][3] The introduction to the work was published several years earlier in 1691, in Latin, titled the Prodromus Ad Refutationem Alcoran.[4] Marracci published his Quran edition only four years after the publication of the Hinckelmann edition.
