THIRD EDITION IN ARABIC. The first edition, printed c.1530, was ordered to be destroyed and survives in one copy; while the second edition was printed at Hamburg in 1694. Marracci's was the second major translation into Latin, following that of Robert Ketenensis in 1143; both were the basis of numerous subsequent editions and translations into modern languages. Brunet III, 1307 ('a sought-after edition, examples of which are very uncommon').
