Good copy of this Elzevirian edition of the first French translation of the Qur'an. André Du Ryer, sieur de La Garde-Malezair, born in Marcigny in Burgundy around 1580 and died in 1660 or 1672, is a French orientalist. In 1647, he published "L'Alcoran de Mahomet", the first complete translation of the Koran into the European vernacular. The book was banned by the Council of Conscience under pressure from one of its members, Vincent de Paul. This censorship did not prevent its diffusion.
