1845, “Mohammed en de Koran.”, in De Gids, vol. 9, 307:Want aan te nemen, dat deze legenden gemeengoed der Arabieren en Joden zouden geweest zijn, verbiedt reeds de omstandigheid, dat Mohammed ze zijnen landgenooten mededeelt als iets nieuws, dat hem van Godswege geopenbaard was, terwijl zij hem beschuldigden, dat hij zich door vreemden liet onderrigten.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
