| This is
one of the rare illustration of a medieval book called “The Travels of Sir
John Mandeville”. In this episode from the book, Mohammed was travelling with a monk. His servants kill the monk with Mohammed’s sword while they both slept, and then attempt to put it in his hand to convince him that he had done it. One can tell that this is a Medieval Christian work, for the depiction of Mohammed is certainly one of the greatest taboos in the Islamic world. |
