PREFACE

THIS book was originally written by the Rev. Dr. Koelle, a profound oriental scholar, who for many years resided in Turkey, as a missionary of the Church Missionary Society.

It was published by the Church Missionary Society in 1865, and is now reprinted as it deals with an interesting and important aspect of the Muhammadan controversy. The transliteration has been changed into the form adopted by the C.L.S. and a few notes have been added; otherwise this edition is an exact reproduction of the original.
