Manuel Paleologus, Dialogue with a Learned Persian, uploaded
July 29th, 2009 by Roger Pearse
For some months I’ve been translating the work that got Pope Benedict into so much trouble a year or two back; Dialogue 7 of the Dialogues with a Learned Moslem by Manuel II Paleologus. It’s been hard going, because I have found the arguments really tedious. I’ve now accepted that I will never manage to do all 37 chapters of this, and have decided to stop, and upload what I have managed to do.
Chapters 1-18 are now online here. The remark quoted by the pope comes early on, and the rest gives quite enough to see the context of the discussion.
NOOOOoooooo!!
Well, Thanks for doing this much, you’re a scholar and a gentleman , and a right good one at that:)
Glad to help!
