The Book of the Concord of the Koran or Law of Muhammad and the Evangelists

To which I had believed that the pious of the whole world, I will not say theologians but Christians, ought to exhort and help with all their efforts. Six hundred trifles and fables from which the ruin of the world proceeds are weighed, permitted, and examined. Barbarism is fostered; the Alcoranum Koran is sold by them, and it is not permitted by the theologians to publish a refutation of it. This is the equity of that order: to abuse the authority of the king, to be unwilling to examine what is submitted. The objection of someone whose name I spare caused this, and what I believe more, because I am not of his order. For I suffered the same thing twelve years ago in that same place, shortly after Lutherus Luther had written against the sacramentalist Bücher Martin Bucer, indeed with spirit as it seemed, but so coldly that you would say he was playing rather than refuting. I likewise undertook the work and collected opinions from the most ancient doctors of the church against that impiety already openly spreading in Germany through Bücher Bucer, Oecolampadius, Capito, and Zuinglius Zwingli. I gave my work to be examined to I. Ganeius, who was then most learnedly elucidating the divine scriptures in the schools of Navarra. He saw it, approved it, and was the author, since he was not permitted by his studies to attend the meeting, that I should give it to some other person who would offer it to the faculty to be approved. Orius the Dominican, for the sake of his friendship with Binetus, received it on my behalf, and offered it; it was deliberated. The work ought to have been censured when one most drunken man arose among the others, named Vinetus—may God be propitious to his hands—and asserted that it was unworthy if a man alien to the school, a Greek and Hebrew scholar as he said, and who was spoken ill of in the cardinal school because of a new persuasion, should receive a vote from the faculty.
