![1709 and 1786 of the Sloane MSS, and described in the catalogue as :— ] 709. 44 The History of the Saracens and of Mahomet, chiefly taken from Pocock and Hottinger.” 1786. 44 Fragment of a treatise respecting the rites and ceremonies of Mahometans, and the justice of Mahometan Wars, and that Mahomet did not propagate his religion by the sword.” These two fragments, in the same late seventeenth- century hand, are evidently one and the same copy of the work, and this fact would have been apparent to the cataloguer could he have had the manuscripts before him at the same time. This copy is probably the earliest known, and contains five chapters in all, of which the first, and the first half of the third chapter, which corresponds to the first chapter and a portion of the second chapter of the Harl. MSS, No. 1876, is missing. 2. The text from which Mr. Hornby made his copy. In the catalogue of the Hornby Collection (already referred to), page 13, it is thus described:— 44 No. 31—The Original and Progress of Mahometanism the same, with number 39.” This was a folio, and was sold with the Hornby copy already mentioned. In 1817 it appeared in the Disney Catalogue, page 70 : 44(Lot) 1564—Treatise on the Origin and Progress of Mahomet- anism.” Sir Alexander Boswell bought it for one shilling and sixpence, and it came into the market again in 1893, when the Auchinleck Library was sold, and was purchased by Messrs. Bull & Auvache, who have disposed of the book and are unable to trace it. 3. No. 1559 of the Disney Catalogue, page 70 : 44 Stubes (Dr.), History of Mahomet, with his letters concerning it.” Sold to Thomas Rodd (Senior) for four shillings. Nothing is known of the subsequent history of this manuscript.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29351765_0016.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
