George Sale’s influential translation (which remained a standard for some two centuries) included both his English rendering of the Arabic of the Quran and also, in the lower part of the pages, his notes based on the exegetical literature. He thus presents the Quran as the divine text and as the diverse human efforts to understand its meanings.
