Early English translation of Islam's holy book. Pp. i-xviii contain "The life and death of Mahomet, the prophet of the Turks, and author of the Alcoran". This is followed by 24 unnumbered pages comprising "A needful caveat or admonition, for them who desire to know what use may be made of, or if there be danger in reading the Alcoran. By Alexander Ross." There were 8 pages following this, of undetermined content (catchword on preceding leaf is "A TA-"), but they are not present. The Alcoran of Mahomat follows, and is complete.

Soiling to leaves following title, and occasionally within; very good.
