prejudicial error common to other Medieval criticisms of Islam: the view of Muhammad as an introducer of a Christological heresy. The Christianæ Fidei Confessio facta Sarracenis (printed in Basle, 1543) is attributed to Riccoldo, and was probably written about the same time as the above-mentioned works. Other works are: Against the Errors of the Jews (); Against the Eastern Races (; MSS. at Florence and Paris); Against the Saracens and Quran (; MS. at Paris); and On Different Religions (; MS. at Turin). Very probably the last three works were written after his return to Europe; the last has a title similar to the last chapter of the Travels (). Riccoldo is also known to have written two theological works—a defence of the doctrines of Thomas Aquinas (in collaboration with John of Pistoia, about 1285) and a commentary on the Libri Sententiarum (before 1288). Riccoldo began a Latin translation of the Quran about 1290, but it is not known whether this work was completed. Notes References George-Tvrtkovic, Rita.
