| Resumen: |
A manuscript datable to the second half of the fifteenth century currently held at the Beinecke Library at Yale University contains in its first 59 folios an interesting group of texts relating to Islam, including: (a) a selection of verses from Robert of Ketton's Latin translation of the Qur'ān, along with some primitive glosses; (b) the treatise Contra legem sarracenorum, by Riccoldo da Monte di Croce; and (c) an abridged and incomplete version of Peter of Toledo's Latin translation of the Risālat al-Kindī. This little-known manuscript is relatively unimportant in terms of establishing critical texts of the works it contains. However, it does provide a good example of how fifteenth-century intellectuals proceeded when they wanted to familiarize themselves with Islam. This study will compare the arrangement of the texts in the Yale codex with other manuscripts of the Corpus Islamolatinum in order to arrive at a hypothesis regarding the context in which the manuscript was composed as well as its purpose. |
