I'm eager for someone to provide the original conversation between Manuel II Paleologus and the Islamic scholar cited in this recent controversy. Anyone? The only edition I can find is a 1966 German translation published in Vienna.

It needs translation. The original dialogue in its full context would I think, be more profoundly illuminating. I am one of those who believes the past has a lot to teach us about how to live in the present as well as to prepare for the future.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
