Harold Sunderland translation

Recently published under the title “El Obispo de Jaén sobre la seta Mahometana,” by Fr. Pedro Armengol in vol. IV of the Obras de San Pedro Pasqual (Rome, 1908). The Catalan Dominican Raymond Martin also mentions the Miraj in his Explanatio simboli apostolorum, written in 1256-1257. Cf. Edit. March, p. 41: “... non sicut Machometus qui jactavit se ad celos ascendisse, sed de nocte et nullo vidente.”
