Note 155 — PART II THE DIVINE COMEDY COMPARED WITH OTHER MOSLEM LEGENDS ON THE AFTER-LIFE
Harold Sunderland translation
Koran, VII, 44. Cf. Ithaf, VIII, 565; Kanz, VII, 213, No. 2,312. The Koran here refers to the dwellers in the limbo and not, as Kasimirski has it on p. 122 of his French translation, to les réprouvés. Cf. Khazin, Tafsir, II, 91; also Tafsir of Al-Nasafi and Firuzabadi in Tafsir of Ibn Abbas, I, 102.
