What it is
A refutation of Islam addressed, unusually, to Muslims themselves, arguing that they should be approached with reasons rather than arms.
Why it lasted
Written by the abbot who commissioned the first Latin Qur'an so that Christians might argue from what Muslims actually said.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
