Alexander Ross, The Alcoran of Mahomet, translated out of Arabick into French, by the Sieur Du Ryer, Lord of Malezair, and resident for the French king, at Alexandria. And newly Englished, for the satisfaction of all that desire to look into the Turkish vanities. (1649)

defile it, and shed blood, while we exalt thy Glory, and sanctifie thee? I know said he, what you know not. He taught Adam the names of all things, who discovered them to the Angels, to whom God said, Declare to me the names of all things that I have created, if you know them; they replyed, Praise is due to thy Divine Majesty, we know nothing, but what thou hast taught us, thou alone art knowing and wise.
