Corpus Cluniacense

[5] It also contains a unique heading, Fabulae Sarracenorum ('Tales of the Saracens'), before Robert of Ketton's prologue to the chronicle.

[16] The earliest copies of the complete Corpus were made towards 1300 and probably in response to the Second Council of Lyon (1274) and the call to recover the Holy Land after 1291.

These copies were made from the original manuscript, which seems to have been brought to England by Peter the Venerable and left there.

[17] The Corpus was edited by Theodor Bibliander and published at Basel by Johannes Oporinus on 11 January 1543 under the title Machumetis Saracenorum principis eiusque successorum vitae ac doctrina, ipseque Alcoran.

A second edition was printed in 1550 with corrections based on a manuscript copied by Cardinal John of Ragusa in 1437.
